Hello
I am a newbie under Linux and have a big difficulty with the modem setup
procedure.
I run Mandrake 6.1 (which is redhat in fact) and read that the first step is
to declare the modem (quite obvious).
the tool is MODEMTOOL but I get a weird error message when I try to launch
it :
I have been trying to get Linux to see the internet. I have ADSL

I have installed Mandrake 6.0. When I invoke Lynx it fails with the
error message:

I have read the man pages and documentation for both programmes, and
can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks in advance,
Ephrem
A second query out of interest:
In my current setup Windows is installed on a standard hard drive,
while Linux uses a DMA33 capable drive. The bios has DMA/33 enabled

is not DMA/33 capable then the slave cannot
