Probably a WINDOWS ONLY modem (WinModem). USR is notorious for not supporting Linux. External serial modems from any manufacturer will work. Most WinModems with LUCENT chipsets (LinModems) work, too (better than they do in Windows, in my experience). Some Conexant chipsets work (never used them, but I've heard the drivers are proprietary). And, finally, PCTel Winmodems may work, too. For more info, go to http://www.linmodems.org As for the CD-ROM, that is weird. Assuming you don't have a CD-RW, there should be an entry line in your /etc/fstab that resembles this (all on one line): none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
