303976 2004-12-23 10:38:00 Which program are you using to connect (KPPP, wvdial etc)? Does /etc/ppp/ppp.conf exist on your system? Caesius (3758)

303978 2004-12-24 00:55:00 An external modem shouldn't be giving PCI information. :D


Scanmodem is looking at the internal winmodem. :rolleyes:


Remove the internal modem. You might be able to disable it in the BIOS, but I'd remove it physically (unless it's part of the motherboard :eek: ).

Then the startup routines should find the external modem on the serial port. (unless it's a USB modem, which might be opening another can of worms.)

Use dmesg | less to see what has been seen at boot time.
