Just tried that. There seem to be nothing printed to that file when I plug in the modem, and Linux hangs (caps lock doesn't work, mouse doesn't move). I've enabled some verbose debugging option in the kernel (via the control center) and tried everything again, with similar results.reboot mandrake 9, open konsole and do "tail -f /var/log/messages" (as root) -As soon as I plug the modem in, Linux hangs.
then plug the modem and see what it's writing on the log.
I will try what you suggested though - maybe it will print something before hanging.
Another thing I've noticed - after Linux hangs and I reboot it by pressing the "reset" button, it will get hung again during boot, this time when displaying "Press Y within 5 seconds to force system integrity check".
I copied my /var/log/messages file to a floppy, so if you think looking at it may help, I can send it to you.

Hmm, I'll try Red Hat 8.0 tonight. Thanks for the tip.

reboot mandrake 9, open konsole and do "tail -f /var/log/messages" (as root) -
then plug the modem and see what it's writing on the log.
Thanks,
