Frans,

I am booting using expert26, loading ppp and serial modules (BTW, I did use 
these same parameters initially). The only network setup option that is 
offered is for ethernet.  I don't see any setup for a modem.  I experimented 
on two different laptops and a desktop, all with the same results.  The 
laptops have Winmodems, so I am using a PCMCIA modem with Card Services 
enabled.  The desktop has an external modem on /dev/ttyS1.

Regards,

Gene
