Paul: Start here: http://www.linmodems.org/ -- cmg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Carroll, Unfortunately, if that was my problem, I would be a lot better off. I have been able to make this modem work under linux before. However, it is not even being detected by lspci on this particular computer. I don't know if perhaps it is possible that the mb is incompatible with this particular modem card, or if this might be caused by an IRQ conflict (or how such a thing is resolved), or any other random thing. I've tried doing some tests (as mentioned above), but I'm not quite sure what to try next. Paul
