There's GOTTA Be A Way...

[TekknoDraykko]

I just installed a Hayes compatible (external/serial) modem on my Red Hat Linux 8.0 box and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make the ^%$#@ thing work!   I tried putting the Mac CD that came with the device in the drive, but the system doesn't recognize the CD (however when I put the Windows version of the disk in the drive it DOES "see" that one! And yes, I tried running the installation software, for that disk, using "./" and all the possible executables that were available).   I've tried running the Intenet Connection Wizard, but when I get to the dialog that asks for the ISP, there's no option for the USA.   I've tried scouring the documentation both for Red Hat AND the modem and there's NOTHING (useful) about how do set up this modem.   I'vre tried www.modems.com, AT commands, www.redhat.com/support, I even tried CALLING RedHat, but all to no avail.   Can someone PLEASE in PLAIN ENGLISH tell me how I'm supposed to get a modem to work on my RedHat 8.0 Linux computer? And PLEASE don't send me to any more "information" (or LACK of information) sites. I need someone to tell me STEP-BY-STEP how to do this. Thank you!   Andre---
