First, you are insufficiently specific. You should tell us in what way it doesn't work; what programs you are using; what else you have tried; what error messages (if any) you have seen. You wouldn't ring up a doctor and say nothing but "I'm not feeling well" ... would you? About modems: Make sure it's not a 'Winmodem' - if it is, throw it in the bin; such modems _need_ Windows to do their work for them. There are no Linux drivers for Winmodems and there never will be. Read the Serial-HOWTO and the PPP-HOWTO. Use minicom to talk to the modem; you should be able to type in `AT<return>' and get back `OK'. Turn on debugging in the dial-out software you are using. Try the log-in process `by hand', through minicom. Compare the dial-out log trace with what you saw in minicom; adjust your configuration files to fit.
