Hi
i cannot connect to the internet using my computer running Linux RH 8. It does not probe my modem. I have tried changing the port too but it's the same. How can i manually configure my modem. I'm a newbie in linux. I have CREATIVE MODEM BLASTERV.90 and it's running fine on Windows (2003 .net server,XP,2000 Server,2000 Pro) but it's not detected in Linux.. HELP!!!!!!!

There are some problems with the detection of some of the latest internal modems. Someone, somewhere will have the neccessary driver you require. In between times see if you can borrow or swap to an external modem and you will find Linux finds it straight away.

Yep, this looks like another case of a winmodem. I believe the quickest and easiest way to fix this is to replace the modem with a "real" modem. Be sure to look for modems that support "linux". Winmodems while most work are little strange to me and I do not suggest using them at all.
