Mr. Pena ,
Before you breakdown and buy a new modem give me a day to get my
instructions together and I'll try to talk you step by step through it as I
had the same problem with mine and it is an identical modem as yours
Actiontec PCI call waiting modem. The book instructions are a little
confusing, but was able to get mine working like a champ. I too got the
looking for modem and then modem is busy errors. I will reply later tonight
with the info. I'm also new to the Linux community and have to learn as I go
but the collective effort of all has helped immensely. I'll tell you what
worked for me and should also work for you.
Hank Wangle

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.
