Okay. that's wierd. anyways, the other way to do it is (under root) in a shell type "ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem" (this sets up a sybolic link (like an alias in winxx) from the modems port) Then in the network cfg program in the control-panel tell it to use /dev/modem. or you could just tell netcfg (that's the name of the network cfg program) to use /dev/ttySx and skip the previous step. Again, the x is equal to one less than the # of the com port in DOS just like it said in the window. The next step is to click on add interface in netcfg etc. good luck. "Yasin A.
