Ok - I found a binary version for Mandrake 8.0 - 2.4.3 kernel, and
verified that that is the version i have by typing uname -r in the
terminal. I know this is a stupid question, but I don't know how - i have
the rpm now on my windows pc and am going to transfer it to my laptop
(with mandrake) via floppy - can you please tell me how to install it?
Thanks!
Tom

What brand name is the modem? If it is on com2 in windows then you should
set it up as ttyS1 on linux. ports start as ttyS0(com1), ttyS1(com2)etc.
If it is a so called controllerless internal modem then it is a winmodem
and you may have a problem unless you find the linmodem drivers. If it is
an external modem no USB you should be ok. Are you using KPPP in the KDE
desktop? A little more info would help if the above does not correct the
problem. We'll be waiting : )
