i'm half asleep.... Anyway, in a terminal type: ls -al /dev/modem <enter> does it show linked to /dev/ttyS4? (for ex: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 29 07:13 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS4) If so, choose /dev/modem in kppp and try to connect. If not, type as root: rm -f /dev/modem <enter> ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem <enter> now choose /dev/modem in kppp and try to connect. Come back with what kppp says. -s On Saturday 18 August 2001 02:25 am, you wrote: > Hi folks, > > The last time I sent in a question about my modem not being detected, I > found that the modem itself was not compatible w/LM8, it was a winmodem. > > I pulled that card out and replaced it w/U.S. Robotics 3Com 56K PCI > FaxModem, (Performance Pro). > > In the documentation that came w/the modem, it tells me to verify, > (during boot process,) IRQ listing and device name (/dev/ttyX) to insure > modem is present. > > Since the screen scrolls by so fast while loading OS, I had to check it > out in KDE session. > > I went to the ManDrake Control Center and clicked on "Hardware."
