Hello, It is quite probably that the winmodem will never work with Linux, but indeed there are a (very) few that do. Check this website for more information: http://www.linmodems.org/ If you really need the modem, I'd advise you to go buy a real one (e.g. not a winmodem). Also, you will need to know which network card you have, or more importantly, the name/number of (probably the) biggest chip on the board. With this information, we can help you to configure it properly. We would be happy to help if you can supply this information to us.

The winmodem is the problem. I had one, and got it to work under the 2.2 kernels, but to the best of my knowledge, the patch hasn't been done yet for the 2.4 kernels. You have two choices: go back to a 2.2 kernel or get another modem. If your box has an ISA slot, you can get a 56K Rockwell chip modem for about the same bucks as a winmodem. The AOpen models sells for around $30.00.

What kind of ethernet card do you have? Specifically which chipset? Send along the output of: % dmesg > /tmp/to_mail and % ifconfig -a > /tmp/to_mail2 Fixing the dsl may be easier than dealing with the winmodem. -Adam
