Well I am using an external usr 56k. I tried changing the /dev/modem to ttys1 as suggested but that didnt seem to help, I went and looked in the resolv.conf and it is there but there isnt anything in it. What is supposed to be in there? When I was using a dsl connection through a network card the only info I input into the setup was the network info and everything worked. Do I need to input something somewhere to get a dialup connection to work?
