[newbie] Modem Problems

[Abdoul Da Man]

I did everything you guys said, now I have "modem busy"
with Kppp.
When I do a "uname -r", I get "2.2.5-15BOOT"
When I do a "uname -m", I get "i686"
when I cat /etc/mandrake-release I get 
"Linux Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios)"

I have a Gateway pentium III 450 and windows98 and Linux
and 64MB of RAM.
and I changed the config.sys so to boot either
from linux or windows by using "loadlin vmlinuz..."

I will appreciate all help.
