Greetings to List!
I remove the hardware (the modem in question) then rebooted the system, Kudszu removed the HW from system
then I shut down the system and installed the modem again in the box, again rebooted. then kudzu found the modem (Intel PCI modem), and configured it.
then I tried to make a dial-up connection, but wizard searched and says that there is no modem detected.
is this meant that it should be a modem which connected to the serial port (UART)? in the wizard
Then, I checked in www.linmodem.org <http://www.linmodem.org> but I couldn't find any solution there for this modem
ok, I could throw away that bad modem which pain me, but how could I prepare a dial-in server without a proper modem?
really hope your assistance
Thank you

Mohan, this is why people on this list will 90% of the time recommend an external serial modem. They *JUST WORK*. There's just simply a lot of PCI modems which are software modems OR do not provide the host PC with a UART.
Sure, developers get them to work through linmodem drivers, and their efforts are appreciated, but nothing beats the no-frills installation of a *REAL* modem. They just work from the get-go.
Have a look at your /var/log/messages after a boot-up and see what the system says about UARTs or anything to do with the modem. You may also want to check your /dev folder for any ttySx devices (x being 0-7 or so). These are your serial ports. Once you've identified them, check whether minicom can speak to the relevant one for the modem.
Either that and troubleshoot or go out and buy a real modem.
Regards, Ed.
