Zonewalker is rigth most of all internal modems are winmodems and linux have suport just for a few of them, so if the installation of youre OS didn't recognice youre internal modem, then you have 2 choises.

1. You go buy an external modem, plugit use youre hardware manager and done.
2. Take a nice chair, close the dor of youre room, and get redy to pas next 24 -36 hours trying to find out how to make it work, reading many config files, downloading, compiling and installing a cuple of "posible" driver options. And to the end you are not shure that one of them will realy work

So is youre desicion. All depends on how much money you have or how good are you in linux.

Thanks for the link phishphreek80
My (so-called) winmodem has been a pain in the....you know what....too.

Hopefully I will be able to figure the darn thing out and post off my *nix distro for once.

Dell is cool, but they sure put in cheep modems to lower the price, which is fine for what I use it for, cept it doesnt work in nix. Maybe if I land a position there, things will change... [delusions of grandure]

ps: anyone seen that white-rabbit around...oh there he is...gotta go!...lol
