Good choice!
That last bit looks like part of the options dialog box that Kudzu displays when it detects new hardware. Sounds like your modem is being detected.

Have you tried running some serial communications program like, say, minicom? If the modem is properly connected, you should see the status lights change once you fire up the program. You should also be able to issue modem commands and see a response from the modem. For example, you could try dialing your own phone number and get the response `BUSY'.
If you can get the software to work with the modem, I wouldn't pay much attention to what the hardware browser says. I have an entry that shows up as ``Sony SDT-7000'' (my tape drive) yet it lists the manfacturer as `Unknown'. And my NCR 53c800-based SCSI controller is an `Unknown device'. So I wouldn't worry
too much about what the hardware browser shows (or doesn't show).
Post your results from any attempts to access the modem and I'm sure someone can give you further help.
Good luck,
Rick
