well, your first step should be checking to find out if it is a winmodem,
,go and look at 3coms site,,,
if it is, head over to linmodems.org and see if it is one that can be
setup..
The server setup is something you will have to read up on,, use man apache.
mandrake can install it for you easily enough.

Subject: [newbie] USR internal modem
Hello to everyone!
Total newbie here....I need some advice.
I have an old Celeron 400 system I just rehabilitated and I want it to
run Linux.
Problem is I only have cds for 7.1 [kernel 2.2.14].
Installation went well except that it's having issues with the only
modem I have left
that's any good.
I just wanted to ask for advice on how I can get this machine connected
to the net
using the 3com PCI modem.
Do I need a kernel upgrade or anything like that? I've heard linux has
issues with
internal modems but some people have had their modems work.
I want to use this modem particularly coz it was pretty fast on my Win98
box.
Also I'm interested in turning this machine into a web server, how do I
go about doing
this (possibly).
Advice and URL links to info will be greatly appreciated.
