Subject: Re: [newbie] Modem Problems
hey man,
I'm having the exact same problem as you. What kind of modem do you have?
I have a
WINMODEM, and an Internal PCI modem, both of which..Dont work (of course
the winmodem
wont work, thats why I bought the PCI one). I've been on this list a
few days now,
and everybody I have asked says to buy an External modem. Preferably U.S.
Robotics
Hope that helps :)

I did everything you guys said, now I have "modem busy"

When I do a "uname -r", I get "2.2.5-15BOOT"
When I do a "uname -m", I get "i686"
when I cat /etc/mandrake-release I get
"Linux Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios)"
I have a Gateway pentium III 450 and windows98 and Linux
and 64MB of RAM.
and I changed the config.sys so to boot either
from linux or windows by using "loadlin vmlinuz..."
I will appreciate all help.
