Melissa, my suggestion was strictly applicable to an external serial modem
that connects to a hardware port on the computer. It won't work for an
internal modem because that is not a "real" modem. A driver must be loaded
to create the com port for an internal card modem.
Thank you very much for this information! I had no idea...
You should try to go to the http://linmodems.org/ site and try to get
information about how to install the driver for your particular modem. Given
your error, there is no way for me to try to figure out what is wrong. I
would need to see the script you are running to see if there is a dependent
package that is missing.
I have located the download page for the driver for my particular Intel PCI modem and for Mandrake 10 and up. I'll guess that I need the version for the default configured Mandrake 10.0 system, but what is the "SMP configured" system?
Or buy an external serial modem for $15 US, which is by far the less troublesome route.
<g> Just because I might learn something, I'll try installing the driver first. If I can't make it work, I'll go for the external serial modem...
Thanks very much for your help (and my apologies for misspelling your name before<g>),
Melissa Allen
