I'm baaaaaack!
Now I've got Fedora bootloader working, I've got a
holnuther problem:
FC5 doesn't detect my modem. I've queried every
location offered in the
KPPP menu and shot craps every time.
The device is an external USR hardware modem. It's
plugged into a USB
port. Xandros detected the modem at location "Comm
8", if that means
anything here. How can I get Fedora to find the
hardware and use it?
Thanks for any help.

Jimmy,
Become superuser
$ su -
psswd: *****
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
will scan the modem ports till it finds a valid ones.
After it finds it use that one in KPPP. Refer to
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/post-install.html
for help/other issues when using wvdial.
Regards,
Antonio

Thanks Antonio. I did as you suggested. KPPP now finds the modem and
probes it correctly, but I don't seem able to create a dialup connection
correctly. Which is to say, I create the dialup connection and tell then
KPPP to dial it. KPPP then goes to work -- and nothing happens. I don't
hear dial tones or any other sounds coming out of the modem. Bye and
bye, KPPP itself disappears from the screen AND the task bar, and no
connection is ever made. So I'm still lost.
Thanks for trying.
Jimmy
