What type of modem is it? If its a hardware modem then its simply a case of plugging it in and using the correct /dev/ttyS, if its a 'WinModem' then you might have a battle on your hands. If you post an exactly make and model then I'm sure someone on the forum will have battled with it in the past.

When you say install the graphics card - do you mean setting up X so you get a graphical environment, not just a command line? If so what distro are you using - the config command change between the distros.

cheers

the support for the sis 62c15 card only works under 3.3.6 for some reason; there's no support under later versions of xf86... go figure.

http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status30.html#30

anyway, the sis driver should do the trick if you have the right version of x.

Thumbs up Got It

Thanks isajera, I was able to configure my graphic card using the "XF86Setup" program.It was able to detect the required drivers.The version i was using was 3.3.6(XFree86) but the "XConfigurator" was not doing the proper job.

Cheers!!!!
