Re: First Install problems

I am new to debian, was using Mandrake until 9.2 update trashed all.
Anyway, I installed Woody and can't get the modem or sound to work.
My modem is internal ISA (hardware controlled) with jumper settings of
(port=02F8, IRQ=3) = COM2. Modem works in Windows and also in Mandrake.
Command #echo atdt1234567 > /dev/ttyS1 (which setserial says is com2)
does nothing. Don't have the slightest idea what to do next.
Also, I have no sound from my CrystalSound card. Alsa-base is
installed but doesn't seem to detect the card. Tried to use alsaconf
to configure for CS4236B (which worked on Mandrake) but don't know
what many of the settings mean. What app does one use to play audio
CD from KDE?
Also, would like to change the monitor resolution. Things are too
large in KDE.
All help appreciated

I am quite new to both Debian and Unix world in general. But I think the
following will work.
change monitor resolution use the following command
*dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86*
Try the bf2.4 installation. It uses a specia version of kernel-image-2.4
package. It provides support for more hardware components.
good luck
