Quick question. Slack installation modem
 
I'm installing Slackware 9.1 (again) and have gotten to the part where you pick a modem or something.
How do I know which one to choose?

This is what I have:

Router - Netgear WGT624.
Modem - Zyxel prestige 600 series.

The choices were

No modem
/dev/ttyS0 (COM1: under DOS)
/dev/ttyS1 (COM2: under DOS)
/dev/ttyS2 (COM3: under DOS)
/dev/ttyS3 (COM4: under DOS)
/dev/ttyS4 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS5 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS6 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS7 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS8 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS9 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS10 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS11 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS12 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS13 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS14 PCI Modem
/dev/ttyS15 PCI Modem

And which port is the modem connected to? :)

I don't know :)
Since I have a router should I choose "no modem"? And perhaps try to fix the internet connection after the installation is done?

Probably a safe bet to skip the modem, then ...

During set-up ... do you know whether
your router functions as a DHCP server,
or are you supposed to use a fixed IP?


Cheers,
