After putting 7.2 on a machine i got from work (pentium 120, 32meg ram) i decided to put it on my network and replace an older machine that i was using as file/print server and firewall ip masqer. I attached the external 3com/USR 56k Voice Faxmodem Pro Model #525 that i had been using under 7.1 with no problems to ttyS0 on the 7.2 box and when first booting the 7.2 it came up and detected my modem as an external 56K USR just like it did in 7.1 during the "checking for new hardware" phase. I then went to harddrake and let it do its thing. It didn't detect the modem at all but did find everything else. I then used kppp and it was able to find the modem and connect to the Internet just fine. Why isn't harddrake able to find it? In 7.1 harddrake detected this same modem perfectly with no problem at all. What do I need to do to fix this? I cant use kppp to make the connection since i need to be able to start it via telnet from another machine and /sbin/ifup wont work until the modem gets configured. At least i cant get it to work and under 7.1 it didnt work until harddrake had detected the modem. Thanks in advance, Ian K. Harrell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
