Henry, You are/should be very luck. One modem, the serial one, For candidate card in slot 00:0d.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:0d.0 12b9:1008 12b9:00a2 Serial controller: 3Com Corp, Modem Division 56K FaxModem Model 5610 should be found via $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem port and all that you will need to do is add your username, password and phone number. Let us know if the wvdialconf file finds the modem port and if you have other questions. Regards, Antonio --- On Sat, 7/26/08, Henry W. Peters <hwpeters@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Henry W.
