I hope that you have wvdial in your installation. $ rpm -qa wvdial* If you do have it installed, try $ su - password: # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the external serial modem port. If you do not have wvdial and want to try to connect using the serial modem, try the following devices in KPPP /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyS2, /dev/ttyS3, and try to connect. This will be easier if you plan to use the external modem. There are some sucess reports. Here's one that might help http://linmodems.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:30668:200806:bgnoamjcbimjkjepmcfe Regards, Antonio > Thanks for help. >
