Derek, Your modem was not installed properly or if it was, you started a job which accessed the modem and probably exited. Go in as root to /dev and delete modem (rm modem) then run ln -s /dev/ttS0 /dev/modem [ from $..../root ] you may have to change the 0 after S to 1,2,3 until your modem gets detected. Everytime you change a number run minicmo from the command line and see if it queries the modem. You should get a message "OK" if the modem is properly installed. Don't forget to exit minicom by ctr-A then x . otherwise you may leave the modem locked again. :-} Apu Compsk8r34 at aol.com wrote: > Hello, I am using linux mandrake 6.5 and i am trying to setup an internet > connection.
