How strange. There's nothing wrong with the sound functionality in my system, e.g. music and DVD playback work fine as do all the system sound effects.
I've tried fiddling with the various modem parameters in kppp, like dialing speed and such, but that doesn't change anything. The funny thing is that the number actually dialed seems to be the same every time, e.g. my local ISP's number is 5625-6300 and the number actually dialed is 679-3500 (which happens to be the number to the Grand Hotel - I hear the words Welcome to the Grand Hotel in the modem speaker :-)).
The number of digits which actually get dialed are more like 10, but the phone switch disregards the extra ones at the end.
The country setting in my /etc/modules.conf is correct (Sweden).
How can 5625 6300 become 679 3500 plus extras? No logic to that...
There's no minicom command in my system - is that something I have to install?

Never seen anything like it, but isn't the sound from Winmodems produced
through the regular sound infrastructure? It could be sounding funny
because of artsd weirdness. Try to use minicom to dial and see if that
works. (Open minicom, then set the serial port to /dev/modem, then do an
ATZ, then ATDyournumber).

Greetings,
Maybe this is not specifically a Mandrake problem, but I'll ask here
anyway.
I've installed the Smartlink drivers for the Winmodem(Lucent based)
in my Toshiba Tecra 9000 laptop, and they seem to work fine - modem
responds OK to query, commands work OK, etc.
But when I use kppp to dial out, the modem dials the wrong number!
Listening to the modem speaker while it dials, it sounds like it sort
of stumbles along the way and repeats some digits so that in the end
it dials the wrong, and too many, digits.
Has anyone experienced or heard of this problem?
Regards,
