I am very new to this - maybe more than you, but I have a winmodem, a lucent modem now running on Mandrake 8.1 on my Dell i8100. The person who set it up for me has the modem call a scrip I think. If you have similar modem & If someone tells me how to do it I'll send it to you :) I am still at the point where I can hardly move around in KDE... in fact this is my first email from linux ever!
