Hi,

Is that an external modem?
Because i hear from some people it's hard to get some new PnP modems to
get working.

I have a Dynalink 28k8 internal and it was no problem with that...
Anyway take a look in  /usr/doc/HOWTO and look at relevant documents with
'less' or
some editor.

If it is a modern modem (PnP kind) try asking on irc.linpeople.org on
channel #linpeople
or something like that.

Good Luck!
