Did you go into system-config-network and ask it to scan for a modem?
It will do the right thing.
From the menu:
System/Administration/Network -Add -Modem connection.
As part of that dialog it will 'discover' your modem.
I don't think so.
I got:
You have selected the following information:
Hardware: Generic Modem
Provider name: netwood
Login name: edwin
Phone number: 8061685
then I pressed the Apply button.
Everything seemed fine until I tried to "Activate" the device.
I don't think that the system ever actually found the modem.
I replaced the U.S.Robotics 5610B with the original Winmodem.
I'm using it to send this email from Windows XP.
Now, when I attempt to activate the modem, I get:
system-config-network:
Cannot activate network device netwood!
Failed to activate netwood with error 7
netwood is, of course, my ISP.
