No, I have the exact same modem and mine worked on 2.2.17. Look in KDE System control and see what irq and ioport its on and then setserial it. Then set kppp to the same com port. That's all it is to it. 2.4.0 just does it all automagically. -s ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [newbie] USR 5610 Modem on 7.2 Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2001 08:02:38 -0600 From: "Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Everyone, I cannot get my Modem (US Robotics 5610) to work under Mandrake 7.2 The box said it was Linux compatible, but the inside paper said it needed kernal 2.4 for support. Everything else on the install works great! 1. When will Mandrake have a new release with 2.4 kernal on it? 2. Or, how can i get 7.2 to work with my modem? Thanks, Keith -------------------------------------------------------
