Hi, This is my first mandrake installation, so the question might seem trivial :-) I have a Compaq Presario machine that I've partitioned with both Linux and Win 98. The problem is that since the installation I can't seem to communicate with the modem (PCMCIA). When inside kppp, I query my modem, it either says "Sorry, the modem doesn't respond" or "Sorry, the modem is busy", depending on the device, i.e. ttyS0 or ttyS1 respectively. The /var/log/messages doesn't give any intuitive suggestions either. It just says "... <machine name> modprobe: can't locate module char-major-43" Any suggestions would be of great help. Is there a tool to configure connectivity with the modem? Isn't Linux supposed to acknowledge the modem at boot time (I've tried to reboot as well)?
