Hey a US Robotics external modem you say? They're the best! I still have mine. It was like 15 years ago but this is what I can recall. First off establish a connection manually with a terminal emulator just so you know exactly how to make the connection. You'll need a program like minicom or kermit. You just have to be observant during the process so you know how the connection is made. Then you need to write a script to automatically get your connection running. This is what I used back then: http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/pppsetup.html Good luck and keep at it you'll get it.
