short answer, you don't have a dns entry for that name.
you need to have it in /etc/hosts or resolveable from the /etc/resolv.conf
file so it can find its ip address

o work. If it is a PnP modem (reguardless of
your machine's bios) then you will want to use the ISA PnP tools to
initialize it. One thing that seemed a bit odd is that you say your modem
is on com2 but most PCs come with built in serial ports at com1 and com2 so
an internal modem usually has to be at com3 or com4 unless you disable the
built in ports first. What is the output if you run:
