I think I installed Debian OK on my computer, but when I got to WVDIALCONF I got a message saying that it did not detect my modem.
I tried PON, got message "abort on (no dialtone)" I wonder if the problem is that I have an internal modem. When I installed Windows 95 it couldn't detect my modem. It ended up putting it under "Other Devices." To get it to work I had to remove it, restart my computer, go into setup mode, disable com port 2, then Windows detected the modem correctly (on Com2) and I was able to load the software. Do I have to do something similar under Debian? Or maybe my modem just won't work with Debian. It's marked "Telepath for Windows with X2 technology." It is manufactured by U. S. Robotics, and came with my Gateway Pentium 200 computer. Could it be one of those modems that work only with Windows? This is my second attempt at trying Debian. Last year I tried partitioning my computer and using LILO. It worked OK until Windows stepped on Debian somehow (I think) and corrupted storage. Now I'm back in Windows again, but would really like to get away from it. I'm so tired of having to having to turn my computer off and on everytime it "freezes up." I use Netscape and Wordperfect, and realize that they don't work well under Windows, so would really like to try Debian again! By the way, I using Debian 2.1 from Cheapbytes.
