Detecting modem

pengie · 12-19-2004, 04:11 PM

Help!!!!!!!!!

I've just installed FC3 last weekend on my laptop. I'm prety new in regards to connecting linux to the internet. I've got dome few questions in regards to this:

1 How can I find out if the installation detect my internal modem?
2 If it did detect it during the install how can I configure it to work?
3 I've got an AOL account using windows, is it possible for me to use it to connect to the net using FC3?

That's all for this time and hope some can help me.

KPPP
wvdial (man wvdial)
network device control

u can query ur modem to look out if it has been detected
KPPP has that feature

Thanks about the xmms, in regards to mplayer which one should I be insstalling, is it the mplayer-common or just the mplayer?

In regards to the modem I will post it later cause I'm still downloading the xmms and the mplayer(both)

rpm
