I have a similar modem, and got it to work as follows: (this notation ##
precedes my comments --don't type 'em in <g>):
(1) as root, open a terminal window;
(2) type: /sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf ##this loads board info,
e.g. for your modem
(3) type: /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf ##this makes your boards
active, should get output for each board
(4) type: setserial /dev/ttySx port y irq z autoconfig ## x is your
comport, y is the standard comport address, z is the DOS/Windows irq #;
e.g., if your modem is on COM1, the line would read: /dev/ttyS0 port
0x3e8 irq 4 autoconfig [note: ttySx numbers are slightly different than
COM numbers: COM1=0, COM2=1, COM3=2, COM4=3
(5)type: xemacs /etc/rc.d/rc.local ##this opens the one file you need
to edit -- use another text editor if you wish, all do the same here :)
(6)scroll to the end of the text in this file, and then at the first
blank linre, type the same thing as in (4) above
(7) save the file, exit, and reboot your computer
That ought to do it. You'll see a line in the boot sequence starting
your PnP devices, and after that, open kppp, setup your service, and you
are on!
