I set up my first modem under Linux -- I cheated -- I did it during the Mandrake 8.1 install and it was simple, easy, and worked after I fixed one problem that is really irrelevant to a normal modem install.
But I'd like some advice about that problem. Dann: Perhaps it is the same problem you were describing, but now I understand it better. The problem is essentially this: I set up a modem and a LAN connection to the Internet. Unfortunately, the routing table was set up for the LAN connection, so it didn't work properly for the modem connection. I edited the routing table to fix the problem "temporarily", but what I'd really like to do is set up two different hardware "configurations" -- one for the modem, one for the LAN connection, and have everything else (like the routing table) automatically configured properly (like you might do in Windows ;-). I think there's a way to do this in Mandrake, but any hints will be appreciated. Randy Kramer PS: I set up a Wikilearn page which describes what I did so far, and can be edited to describe how to set up the two hardware configurations.
