Modem Problem Was: Dennis Kibbe lspci -vv

Mike, try to use kppp to find the modem (it was easier for me when I had this
problem).

Open up a terminal window and type kppp

When kppp pops up you have a choice of (quit) and (setup)
choose (setup)

Then you get a window with 6 tabs choose (device)

Then click the bar next to Modem Device: and you get a list like this
/dev/modem
/dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS3
/dev/ttyI0
/dev/ttyI1
/dev/ttyI2
/dev/ttyI3

click on the first one and then click on the (modem) tab

under the (modem) tab click on Query Modem box
and see what it says.
Try each one /dev/ttyS0,/dev/ttyS1, etc. on down the line until it
comunicates with the modem and gives you Query results.

Then go into the (Accounts) tab and click the new box
and enter your information from you ISP.

Then click ok box at the bottom of the window and it will take you back to
the first window which should have the connect box lit up click on that box
and your modem should dial out and try to connect.

Note I should say button not box box=button

Also make sure phone line connected to modem

Good luck
Mike
