I believe the modem in a ThinkPad 390E is a Lucent winmodem. This means that <http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/> is the first place you have to visit to get a good overview of the issues involved. The driver you need is available from <http://www.heby.de/ltmodem>. I think that <http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/dists/suse/8.22a3/ltmodem-kv_2.4.18_4GB-8.22a3-1.i386.rpm> is probably the rpm you need to get. Download this file and install it using the command "rpm -i ltmodem-kv_2.4.18_4GB-8.22a3-1.i386.rpm". This will install the needed modem driver on your system. Once it's installed the usual methods of accessing the modem will work. I'm not sure what the best way of starting a dialup session under SuSE is, but tools such as kppp should be able to access the modem as /dev/modem. Please read the information at <http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/> as all your questions should be answered there. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
