Hi,
Mandrake comes with modem drivers. And usually the modem is detected upon
installation. So most likely you have a winmodem, otherwise known as a
software modem. It is possible to set this up in linux. But I wouldnt bother.
(to hard) I would use an external modem if I were you.
One thing to check however is that ppp has been installed. This is easilly
checked by typing rpm -q ppp at the command prompt. If it is not present then
you will need to install this off of the installation discs. (It might be
knows as pppd from memory)
