From your post I see that it is a serial modem. Just make sure that the serial port is enabled in bios and I personally use ttyS0 or com1 with mine, you will not see it in harddrake (probably) but if you use Kppp and setup to use the ttyS0 and your ISP dns etc it should work right out ot the box, no driver install or anything necessary. My modem is a little Best Data modem , external, serial and it works great. Good luck, -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
