    for the modem I'd bet it is a winmodem..
    that is always a problem in linux..
    hope this helps: http://www.google.com/linux?q=winmod...orola+mandrake

    Linux realy only has support for external (serial and USB(new modems)) modems.

    for the scanner look at SANE http://www.mostang.com/sane/
    best experience with SCSI scanners though.. Parrallel port scanners are harder to set up..

    look here for device drivers for your modem www.linmodems.org if the device drivers are not there the only other thing i could sugest is an external modem. is it recognizing your modem as a win modem ? or not recognizing it at all?
