Melissa, my suggestion was strictly applicable to an external serial modem that connects to a hardware port on the computer. It won't work for an internal modem because that is not a "real" modem. A driver must be loaded to create the com port for an internal card modem. Well, unless it is one of the very old and expensive kinds of internal modems that are "real" hardware modems. I don't think that they make those kind any more. > I have also visited the site that Anne Wilson recommends below.

You should try to go to the http://linmodems.org/ site and try to get information about how to install the driver for your particular modem. Given your error, there is no way for me to try to figure out what is wrong. I would need to see the script you are running to see if there is a dependent package that is missing. Or buy an external serial modem for $15 US, which is by far the less troublesome route. -- Bryan Phinney
