Slink but no Internet...:-(

[Helgi Örn <hehe@post.netlink.se>]

Hello Debians!

I have installed 2.1 several times but never managed to configure it to
my satisfaction, no internet connection and no sound for example, and i
have REALLY tried. I really would like to use Debian/GNU instead of SuSE
which i otherwise have as my default OS.

I've got a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO modem on ttyS0 (COM1), wvdial
and pppconf have never found it. Wvdial says it can't find the modem,
pon says that probably there is no kernel module for ppp support
installed. The ppp module IS installed, the modem works fine with Win98
and SuSE. So i'm stuck!

Any ideas?

Greetings!
