Hi Despina,

It would help if you could post the output of "/sbin/lspci".

Anyway, you can always have a look at http://www.linmodems.org/ and
http://www.google.com/ .

There's a batch of info on the web about Linux and modems. If you are
trying to set up an internal modem, carried over from Windows, you
probably are faced with a "controllerless" or software operated modem
rather than a "controller" or hardware operated modem. I found that for
my system, using Slack 9 with (several) hfc/hfs (controllerless) modems
was nearly impossible. I finally plugged an external USR Sportster V90
into the parallel port and let KPPP take over. No problems, no hassle,
smooth as silk. Setup time was about 60 seconds.

Regards,

Marv
