Hi,
I have a Motorola PCI PnP SM56 modem, and from the
Win98 I can see it takes the "COM4". I searched the
Mandrake and Redhat webpages, but didn't find out how
to configure a PCI PnP modem.
Thanks in advance.

You have a "SoftModem" aka "WinModem." It won't work in
Linux. It requires special software which ONLY works in
Windows9x (and maybe NT!)
Go to http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
for more information about which modems will and won't work
under Linux.
