One booby-trap I've run into is that, on my machine at least, a PCI modem must be ttyS4 or higher. I find that I *MUST* set the following in make menuconfig... Device Drivers --- Character devices --- Serial drivers --- (5) Maximum number of 8250/16550 serial ports The PCI modem can't use the first 4 ports (DOS COM1: through COM4:), so I have to set the driver to allocate at least 5 serial port numbers. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Question: why cannot I set up KPPP? OK, that helps : ) Now Google should be all you need. I searched google for linux 3Com 5610 and found some interesting links. This one is about the 3Com 5610: http://baheyeldin.com/linux/how-to-setup-a-modem-with-linux.html There is always http://www.linmodems.org/. You should read linmodems.org because you can download their scanModem tool and run that for help. Jim Solved!! Thank you emilio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Bye emilio Can you list the full output of lspci -v? The output of lspci -v should show something about the modem.
