Ok, is it not a winmodem, and not a pci bus modem, it's isa. When I did the
'setserial /dev/ttyS2' it said irq4, I noticed though, that my modem is on
irq10, is that the problem? How can it be changed?

first off, turn off HTML msgs under Tools / Options / Send tab / check
Plain Text under Mail sending format. These are instructions for changing
the format in Outlook Express, which your msg identified it was created
under.
Now, everyone can read your message w/out squinting and going blind. Plain
text format allows more people to read your msg and help you. I say this
not to start flamage, but because it was once pointed out to myself.
To the problem. Is this a Winmodem, a HSP modem, a softmodem ar any
othersuch PCI bus modem. If so your screwed. Get another modem.
Likely the proplem is that it is PnPray. So, at the command line try
"setserial /dev/ttys2" or try "modemtool". I have a USR 33.6 ISA modem
(great modem) and I instead switched off the PlugnPray and hard set it to
Com 3 (which is ttys2 in linux) Irq 4 and all devices played nice. Then
go back in to Kppp and let it query the modem on /dev/ttys2.

I just installed Madrake 6.0, running KDE, I used kdeppp and tried to
setup my modem, which is a U.S. Robotics 56k Internal Fax Modem, on COM3,
but I couldn't seem to set it up right, I always got errors like "modem is
busy" or "can't open modem"
Does anyone know what settings I should use for the modem? Or if I have
to download some linux drivers for it? Thanks.
