Alright I just install Suse 9.1 and this is my first time messing with Linux and I cannot get my modem configured properly..

First off it says it is installed but when I go to the Hardware Tool and look at my modem it doesnt show a driver? All I have is the cd that came with my modem and its not made for linux so how can I get the drivers off of it?

Also I think part of my problem is I dont know which port my modem is on it says COM3 in Windows so which would that be in Linux? I dunno I may seem dumb but this is my first time messing with linux ive only had it installed for about 2 hours.. so any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

ttyS2 is com3
I think in suse you use yast to set modem anyway find the tool
no drivers are needed for a external dialup modem

What brand/model do you have? I'd find out and check the HCL (link at top of page).

If you open a Konsole window, and type "su" (no quotes) <enter> <your root password> and then "lspci" it will give you information on all your pci devices. This can be helpful to identify what chipset a particular device uses (and hence, which drivers to use with it).

Is it an internal or external modem? (to be more specific, com3 is translated to /dev/ttyS2, /dev/ttyS0 is com1...)

junme: Just because Windows uses com3 does not mean that it must be an external modem. Internal modems have (or at least had) com ports associated with them.
