Those who have answered my previous questions have been a big help,
but please don't get to vague in your responses... please note that
even though I am using Linux, I am new to the platform; I had to
deduce the means by which to implement most of the help I have been
given.  THANKS ANY WAY, NEVERTHELESS!!

Now, I need help with the modem.  I have a somewhat standard ISA
modem...  I don't know how to get X (or Linux in general) to use it...
I tried using the modem dialer in X, but when querying the modem, it
wasn't found.

Please help, and thanks in advance.
