If you are using kppp (not installed by default anymore--you will need to urpmi it) you can test all your "tty". I think you will find it on one of them. Then you will need to link you /dev/modem to that serial port.
The relevant /etc/fstab line for my CD-RW is: none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,rw,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 And, if you use lilo, your /etc/lilo.conf file should contain, in the append line, a reference to the cdrw (in my case hdc) being scsi emulated. Note that I don't use 10.0, and I have heard that scsi emulation is no longer used with 10.0--anyone, is this correct?: append="noapic devfs=mount splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht"
