As root from the CLI type in "service slmodemd status" If you get an error, then the package is not working. If you want to get your modem working, I posted a write-up that tells you how to manually install the slmodem drivers for those people who have upgraded their kernel to a version that is not supported by the pre-built driver. It is possible that you have installed a more up to date kernel and the existing package that contains the compiled driver is actually for a different version kernel. If that is the case, you can follow the instructions in the howto and compile the modem driver very easily. http://kislinux.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=186 > The slmodemd is actif when I start the computer (actif in the service > panel). > Why is there always problems with the modems since there is no reason to > use a computer without an internet connection. > Any idea? Well, you are using a Winmodem which is hardware that is designed for Windows with a Linux OS. That should help to provide some explanation for why there are problems. If you purchase an external serial modem which is a hardware based modem, you will find that you have no problems at all with the modem. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
