[newbie] USRobotics modem problems

[Kandace Little]

I can not get this modem working wit Linux not sure why though, It works just find when running windows. It is a sportster 33.6 ENT FAX modem and I find I like the little thing ;).   The problem I am having is that when I go to call out, it finds the modem says it is ready then starts to initialize and goes no father. My modem is in COM port 1, I used dev/ttyS0 instead of dev/modem. I also tried it the other way as well. It once said that it was setting speaker volume but stopped there.   Speaker does not mean that much to me anyway since I can not seem to get my sound going hehe.. Dam sound it built onto the Mobo it is ESS and SB compatible but still does not seem to work.   Anyway and help would be great. Thanks!   Stephen
