I've recently installed Linux on my computer, and when I tried to configure my connnection using kppp to get to my ISP, I failed because my PCI modem was not configured. I would appreciate if anyone could give advice on setting a dial up connection.
As you say it's a PCI modem I assume its internal, is it a so-called WinModem?, cause if so then you may have a problem.
In this case the LinModem site <www.linmodems.org> and the Linmodem HowTo at <www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linmodem-HOWTO.html>
If not then see the general Modem HowTo at <www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html>

Check to see the chipset your modem uses. If it is a conexant HCF or HSF they have linux drivers at http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv Both my old desktop and my laptop use HCF chipsets. I used the drivers to get my laptop modem working, it was just a case of downloading the correct driver for my kernel - very easy to get working.

Further to my last message, there is some modem chipset info and software to identify your chipset at www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/modemident.html
Must get back to my work!
