The only thing is using surfbest's dialer I need to click on connect. Using an M$ dialer, ubuntu might be able to connect by itself IF I have made the proper settings to allow it. "Even if your dial-up modem works, it will still have to be configured to > work in an application like kppp, to connect with your ISP" This part I know nothing about. Some day soon I will be transferring Linux to this newer system and windoze to the older one, with the modem staying in the newer one as it is now. First I need to learn more about ubuntu.
