Re: [Re: [newbie] Configuring External Modem]
If your internal modem is a pci or an isa then you would simply remove the card from your computer, if it is part of the motherboard, then you will have to check your instruction book for the motherboard. If you are like me, you don't have any instruction, so you will just have to wing it, possibly you could find out more about your motherboard on the internet. Let me know how you come out.Carl From: "nobody noway" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Re: [newbie] Configuring External Modem] Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 22:16:29 -0600 Thanks for your response.

RE: [Re: [newbie] Configuring External Modem]
If the modem is built into the motherboard, try going into your bios.. (press delete on boot usually) and you may be able to change the settings to disable... as i the previous message, if it is any other sort of modem, just pull it out,, unless you are dualbooting and want it for windows... in which case, why? you have an externaluse that. g luck...

Re: [Re: [newbie] Configuring External Modem]
Da ,...Don is not necessarily right about ignoring your internal modem. If you plug your external modem into a com port which uses the same IRQ and/or I/O address as your internal one, it won't work. I assume that your internal modem is built-in? If not, the easiest way to solve your problem is to remove it. Otherwise, modify your external com port so that it uses different settings than your internal one. You can adjust it in your BIOS. Keep in mind that you shouldn't use com 3 for your external modem if your internal modem uses com 1 . Use com 2 instead. If your internal uses com 2, don't use com 4, instead use com 1/3 . You get the idea, right? Then try changing your settings in the setup appplet in Kppp. -- Dan LaBine Maximum LAN's Ltd. Registered Linux User #190712
