RB> ok..
RB> I'm new to this wonderful thing called linux, but i love it. i understand the file system and the fact that everything is a file. i know there is support for some linmodems, including the one i RB> my machine. 8.1 did not autodetect it so i went on a search for a rpm that would work and found one. i installed it, but cannot get the internet dialer to recognize it. is there another dialer i RB> can use .. or would it be best to by an external modem?. RB> i have the same problem with my PDA.. the soft where is there, but it is looking @ /dev/polit when it is connect to comm2.. does any one know of some free training one the web or some good books RB> i can read. i want to use my machine on the web instead of going under windoz all the time.. RB> thanks RB> roy I did make some models work fine under linux, but all have different "styles" to be configured. Which modem are you trying to make work ? What rpm did you use ? Btw, many of the modems can not work with rpms, as they need to be compiled against your machine. Onur Kucuk _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
