An lspci (as root) should return something like this: [ ... other devices ... ] 00:0b.0 Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 01) If you see it, try a 'grep ttyS /var/log/dmesg'. You should get something like this: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A ttyS04 at port 0x7fe0 (irq = 10) is a 16550A If you have three choices (like my system does) and ttyS00 and ttyS01 exists, those are probably the motherboard's serial ports. The odd man out is ttyS04 (which, oddly enough, is how my USR5610 set itself up as - com5 in dosland). Fire up wvdialconf, and see if it works. Report back if it doesn't. Remember, if you can hear it dial out, then the driver is probably working and you have the right serial port, if you can't connect, there is probably something wrong with your ppp configuration. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want, I seem to own the exact same model. Its a good modem, and stays connected for days when I want it to. :) ~ Jesse Meyer -- icq: 34583382 | Nethack 3.4.2 is out! http://www.nethack.org jabber: dasunt@theoretic.com | "And how can man die better / Than facing msn: dasunt@hotmail.com | fearful odds / For the ashes of his fathers / yim: tsunad | and the temples of his gods?" ~ Babington
