Yesterday I installed Mandriva 2008. After copying slmodemd (my chipset is hda-intel) to /usr/sbin, I run it in console / terminal # slmodemd --alsa -c INDONESIA hw:0,6 And it activate as dev/ttySL0 Then I run kppp and it's connected Previously I did in Ubuntu 7.10 and it's hard to connect Sorry just sharing, not solve your problem -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Lanham [mailto:natelanham@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2007 11:32 PM To: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: mandriva 2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv i have my modem working with the linuxant driver in gusty gibbon and now im trying to get it to work on mandriva. I installed the package and configured the modem but with kppp i keep getting a "no carrier" message. In gusty i use kppp also so im not sure why it would not work in mandriva.

I did download an install te correct package for mandriva. please advise what i could be doing wrong to get this "no carrier". thanks for your time.
