Yup, I mean an ordinary 56k modem connected to a serial port. I am pretty well convinced the modem side of things does work OK, but recent suggestions to change DNS settings haven't got me online ...

Do you mean a regular 56k modem plugged into a serial port? Most if not all distros should surely be able to talk to the modem as a dumb 33.6k modem if they can't send the right AT commands to get the modem to neg up to V42. Serial ports Just Work (tm) :) -- _ __/| William Anderson | "There's something about records which is \`O_o' neuro at well dot com | really satisfying." =(_ _)= http://neuro.me.uk/ | -- John Peel (1939 - 2004) U - Thhbt!
