Again nothing, I used the command setserial -a <cr> and setserial -a create but still nothing that doesn't seem to be a modem problem but a syntax error. I've being trying to decompress the rpm's for linuxconf but I've had no luck, the speakup method of reading the man pages is taking some getting use to. Its pronouncing some words as broken words example house is hou se. Its very distracting. To make things worse, I cant use the up and down arrows to read the man pages as speakup reads SS in front of every line, I've found from experimentation that the E key will do the same thing without calling out the SS string. Also, I cant read in pico with the arrow keys, I have to use the speakup navigation keys. that makes it nearly impossible to edit text and incert text into certain parts of configuration files. I'll probably get use to it but for the moment its frustrating. Back to the modem though, this is getting on my nerves, I specifically asked for a hardware modem when buying this computer to make it as easy as possible to install it. Looks like I'm going to need some more time. For thoughs of you on the list sick of hearing from me by now, I'll get there eventually, I am use to having full independence in Windows, its difficult to go to an operating system where absolutely everything is different.
