If it's an ISA modem, it's quite possible it is a regular hardware modem (I have an ISA sportster 56k and it works fine). > I really need some advices,like i know how to edit stuff or the file > system hierarchy and things like that (ok,not quite a newbie..:)) but > i never dial-uped from linux,and i am really stucked. > I have pppd and wvdial installed,i tried to config the modem with > setserial,didn't succeed. You're on the right track. Figure out which serial port the modem is on (/dev/ttyS[0-4]), an then run pppconfig. Turn on debugging, so if there's a problem you can report the output of /var/log/ppp.log and possibly /var/log/ppp-connect-errors. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
