Thanks for the help, I'm new to Linux and am trying to
make the switch to Linux. I'm setting up a computer
for my mother to use to browse the internet. She only
has dial-up as an option. I have Debian on the
computer and Gnome starts when it boots up.
A cd came with the modem and has two files in a folder
Drivers==>Linux==>slmdm-2.7.15.tar & slmdm-dix.patch
The "read me" file only mentions installation under
RedHat (I tried to relate it to Debian unsuccessfully)
I will continue to attempt to sort through the
information.
Thanks again,
rjefferey
