Hi Folks I found a driver at www.linmodems.org, which created the following device: /dev/modem -> tty/LT0
I then used the Mandrake Internet thingy wizard to set up a connection to ClearNet. I had to choose "Normal Modem" instead of "Winmodem", and told drakconnect that the normal modem is /dev/modem. I then tried to connect. I got all the expected output that told me the modem is recognised: ATZ OK ATDT086725327 CONNECT etc... in the kppp log window. Then when it got to "Logging onto network", it spat the dummy, some kind of error with ppp. I used the exact same settings as my desktop which works fine. I will continue my efforts. Thanks for all the help so far Yuri
