Well, I followed the link you provided me and wrote down the info for my
modem listed under WindowsME.
Logged into Linux under root. I am completely new to Linux so terms like
"terminal" and the like have no meaning whatsoever. Nevertheless, I did
figure how to get into terminal and typed in the first command line. There I
saw the info that Linux could display. But when it came to cd /root and the
rest of the lines I had to type it I was completely lost.
I did managed to type in the setserial....command but the link stated to
edit with "jed or a similiar editing program". I don't know if I even have
such a program on my box.
After all of this typing I went to see if anything worked and when I tried
to connect Linux told me my modem was busy.
Any further info is appreciated.
