Hi, I'm new to the list. I've got background running Solaris on a Sparcstation and I've done installations of Red Hat and Corel Linux but I'm still finding my way around Linux on an Intel box (and I'm lost). I've just gotten a new machine. My old machine had a Winmodem in it so I never had the opportunity to get Linux Internet aware. But the new machine has a Diamond Supramodem 56i and I've just installed Mandrake Linux on it. I've set up a dialup connection but can't get the modem to do its thing. The modem is on ttyS2 (com3 which it is when I'm in Windows). If I set up the modem on any other device it's simply not seen but on this device it returns "busy." Can anyone tell me how to fix this? BTW, the machine is a AMD K6-500 and everything else seems to be working quite well, though I haven't set up sound yet. Would sure like to get it Internet aware. Cheers --- Larry
