Well, I had some problem setting up modem and I finally figure it out w/
numorous help, so I'll share it with you..
Here are few tips:
First of all, if you are using KDE there is kppp which is very easy for user
to setup ppp connection. Or you can reference a doc from RedHat for setting up
connection via "linuxconf"..
Second, I assumed that you have PCI modem, and then, you have to setup IRQ.
you can easily do that by:
setserial /dev/*dev* irq # where *dev* is your comm port & # is irq #
I ususally set it as:
setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 4 which means I setup my modem as comm2 and using
interrupt 4
You can check how the interrupts are set up in your computer:
more /proc/interrupt (?) or something like that..
Third, are you able to connect to your modem via minicom? Check it out..
If you can even dial it out, then you're all set..
Last but not least, check out HOWTO doc at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO-1.html
Hope this helps,
Paul

Hi all,
I have an internal modem (NOT a winmodem) in my box, running linux
mandrake 6.1. A friend of mine helped me configuring it as far as he
could, but he didn't know how to have the modem working.
I did not manage to have the "cat /proc/pci" output here, but the modem
is well detected (serial controller, Olitec) on pci bus and not at boot.
could anyone help me about configuring all that stuffs to create the
connection to my internet provider.
thanks in advance.
Charlie Rulleau.
ps: I can get more information from my box if needed.
