Martin,
Do you know what type of modem it is? Is it a connexant? Check out `cat /proc/pci` and also under windows... Often internal modems need special drivers to function under Linux.
All the best...

I've now tried all sorts of combinations to no avail.... X1, X2, X3. X4,
all do not work.
Under XP, I don't need anything -- using Hyperterminal I just say ATDT
<number> and I get my ISP's login prompt. Undex Linux, I say exactly the
same thing to minicom, and I get NO CARRIER.
Very strange.
Regards,
Martin
