OK I hope someone can help me here ,

I installed this modem (it's supposed to be Linux compatable) and with the help of several sites and the information there I configured it . After a few preliminaries one of which was adding the line

"set serial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0xdc00 irq 5"

to the dev directory I obtained the info using cat /proc/pci

i linked the ttyS4 and wrote the above line "set serial etc" in to the rc.local file

Instructions say to use minicomm to test the setting but I can't find it. In fact I can't find kppp or any other internet connection ware aside from what's in the system control center.

using lspci -vv i get this info
