modem question using kpp using mandrake 5.2 

I changed it to com2(cua1) in settings in linux and it came up 
with a screen that said modem ready but then nothing happened the dialup box 
froze

com3 in windows

[newbie] running video in 16 mil colors ? and modem question

[agent25]

using mandrake 5.2 with susconfig and renditon 
rpm from xservers from mandrake cd 

I have a diamond stealth s220 and it says its 
capable of running in 16 and 24 bpp
but it always shows in 8 bpp
i tried running startx --bpp 16 but that didnt 
work either 

also when i try to dial it always says my modem is busy it set 
on the correct com (cua2) 
I am pretty sure that its not a 
winmodem

If you can help please respond 
thanks
