Someone replied to one of my posts and suggested that I disable the
plug-and-play feature on my modem and use the onboard jumpers to configure
the COM port and IRQ. Thanks, that worked for me. I have an Abit BH6
motherboard with Award BIOS, and I disabled COM2 in the 'Integrated
Peripherals' section of the BIOS setup utility. KPPP is working for me in
KDE and I can now connect to my ISP from Linux.
Unfortunately, my modem didn't work when I booted to Windows 98. Device
manager didn't even find it. Oh well, I guess that the moral to the story
is: Use an External Modem!!!!! I'm sure that I could spend a few more
hours and eventually get the modem to work the same way with both operating
systems, but picking up an external modem will save me all the headaches.
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post.
