Thanks to all the people who posted about my modem errors. I am now not receiving errors when I connect up although there are a few things listed at the bottom of this email I would appreciate you looking into, if anyone feels like helping there.
The solution was obtained from the cmd 'cat messages' in the /var/log directory. Just before the modem hung up the files said that the username and or password were incorrect and that was stopping me being authenticated. After trying several option I settled on making my username the same as my email address, although it apparently isn't according to my ISP. Darn modem connected up first time and I was able to surf the Net. Items which still need attention are: 1) How I can get modem lights showing my modem is active. I have searched he mdk software manager for most things to do with lights, modems etc. but have not been able to confirm or deny it is or isn't installed. If it was installed, how would I get it to display when the modem is in use? - SOLVED 2) Why does the modem not show up under the Mandrake Control Centre hardware tab under modems? How do I get it to show there? modem is an ISA USR Sportster 56k with no jumpers attached and PnP disabled in the BIOS and running on Mdk 8.0.
