External dial up modem problems with 10.1CE
I just got Mandrake 10.1 community and for some reason I can not get my external (serial) dial up modem to work. It is recognized and I can configure it under "Configure Your Computer". But, when I try to connect the modem connection it says connecting and the timer starts, but the modem's lights don't indicate activity and my phone line isn't being used whatsoever. I'm using KDE.
Also, does anyone know how Mandrake goes about releasing their iso's? I know 10.1ce is free and 10.1 official is out to paying subscribers, but will they eventually put official out for free? Thanks.
EDIT: By the way, I had Mandrake 9.1 a while back and could effortlessly dial up with the same modem. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious. Mandrake's GUI utilities are sometimes more confusing that command line, but I can't remember how to go about this with the command line. This is making me feel like more of a newbie than I generally consider myself. Perhaps I need a less user-friendly distro again.
