I configured it by
-placing the jumpers to select the COM port and IRQ as used by the modem I
was replacing.
-booting W**** with the USR CDRom in the player
-letting it install a slew of modem-related software
-Saying Yes when it wanted to sdetect new hardware
It then started playing with itself for some time, while displaying
something like:
"Now configuring the modem, this wil take a few minutes"
When it was finished, I tried connecting from W**** and it worked; logged
off, rebooted Linux, tried to connect and it worked straight away.
