I am trying to configure my modem to work under mandrake linux

when I go to configure then kde then info then pci it tells me that I have a modem

( if it helps here is what it tells me )
cimunications controller: cinexant hsf 56k hsfi modm
subsystem: conexant: unknown device 2003
flags: bus master,fast back2back,medium bersel,latency 32 irq 9
memory at f3ff0000 (32 bit non-prefetchable) [ size 64k]
I/O ports at 7c78 [size8]
capabilaties: <available only to root>

where I need the help is in getting it from an unknown device to a known device

detailed help please

I think that's a winmodem. There is a website for this. I think it's www.linmodems.org.

Give that a try. If you can a external serial is the best way to go. Very easy to setup.

Hope this helps..

Are you sure it isn't already configured. It knows it is a modem. Fire up

and see what happens.

kppp is what you will want to user, page 8 shows how to query the modem
