As I live in the countryside in France with only a 56K modem possibility, I absolutely need a PPPmodem connection, but after downloading and installing the HSF driver, I can't detect my modem (there is no such thing as system in the Windows control panel) and under System management I find only Network tools, but no Network. Looking for the installed driver under System-Hardwire drivers, I get the message "No propietary drivers are in use on this system" How do I go about configuring my Modem? Thanks for any help Karel </blockquote> you need to use wvdial. Run sudo wvdial then open wvdial.conf with a text editor and add your username, password, and phone number. There is a program in Synaptic called gnomeppp that will give you a GUI for wvdial or you can run wvdial in a terminal. wvdial without "sudo" will open your dial up connection. <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> No virus found in this incoming message.
