What would you suggest to use for internal one, then? Well, if it's an internal modem you can't so easily check the power switch etc;-) If it really is a hardware modem it may appear at /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS3. If it's "winmodem" that is also supported on Linux - a "Linmodem" it will work quite well, but you need to download drivers and build kernel modules. I can do it, but describing it from memory is not on. A good website though is http://www.linmodems.org/ You will need some technical detail about the modem - the lspci command (log in as root) will probably give you that, and then find the best match on this website and follow instructions. I found getting a modem with the Lucent chipset working no great problem, but then I know my way round Linux. -- Cheers John. Please, no off-list mail. You will fall foul of my spam treatment.
