Hi Chris, Sorry for the delay in answering this question. My modem is an internal modem:
Intel(R)537EP V9x DF PC1 According to Windows XP it is in slot 2 - whatever that means.

We could try searching through some "bug reports" with that info and seeing if any hits turn up. There seems to be one reported solution here: http://forums.techguy.org/linux-unix/927230-solved-trouble-setting-up-dialup.html But it looks like the beginning of that link is installing four .deb files that are on the linux CD, And if I remember correctly, that is one spot where you got hung up at because you could not get the cd to mount... I don't mean to have you backtracking if you've already given that route up, but it may be worth revisiting. Another way to install from the CD is to add the CD to your sources. I've done this in the past, but am a little fuzzy on the details. I'm thinking if you just dump the CD in the drive, there is a box you can check.. but may need to add it manually to etc/sources.list file... Alternatively, if you provide the link with instructions you were following, and point out where it didn't work for you, I (or someone smarter) might be able to figure out what was going wrong there... Hope you manage to not pull your hair out over this... :) ~Chris > > ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
