Ok, I got Delux Mandrake 6.5, ran partition magic and found 1.5 gig for a
Linux drive on my C drive, shared with Winblows 98. I installed Linux,
rebooted, installed Boot Magic. Upon rebooting again, all works well and I
can get into either os. Next I started trying things out in Linux. I was
able to mount my CD ROM, haven't tried my CDR drive yet, though according to
a page I looked at last night it is supported (CRW1622 Memorex) I have a
Zoom 56k Dual Mode modem and haven't been able to get it going yet. This is
my target problem right now. In the device window in kppp, I have 13
choices, ttySx, ttylx, cuax, and dev/modem. x is 0-3. Winblows says my
modem is on Com 3 (it is internal and unfortunately I don't know exactly
what model it is.) Based on this and the supplied manual, I thought ttyS2
would be the monster, but it didn't work. I've gotten 3 or 4 different
error messages when testing the modem, but nothing that makes it work yet.
I think I've got all the other settings in kppp worked out, but I won't know
until I get the modem going. If there is an archive for messages on this
list, please point me to it and I'll try to find the answer to this and
future questions there. Any help is appreciated. I'll get to my CDR later,
unless someone wants to give me some pointers now...
