Uli, The archival information on Modem: ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller" CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=10b9:5457 SUBSYS=161f:2027 IRQ=5 SOFT=10b9:5457.MC97 CodecArchived=CXT is that the chip on the SUBSYStem =161f:2027 is a ConeXanT type Thus From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.27_11_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See DOCs/Testing.txt for details. MarvS On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 6:17 PM, Uli Kluge <ulikluge@xxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > I try to install an analog internet connection with my Laptop.
