I would suggest starting by reading the Modem-HOWTO, Serial-HOWTO and the PPP-HOWTO available in the doc subdirectory of most distribution CD's or at <a href="http://www.linux-howto.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.linux-howto.com/</a>. &nbsp;You might also find some tips in the ISP-Connectivity mini-HOWTO (same source, /mini subdirectory).<br />
<br />
However, note that the Modem-HOWTO indicates &quot;The kernel 2.2 serial driver contains no support for the PCI bus. But current kernels 2.3 and (eventually 2.4) will support some PCI serial cards (and modem cards). Most PCI cards need special support in the driver. ...&quot;<br />
<br />
Since it is a plug and play modem, you may be able to configure it under Windows, then use the settings under Linux, but there may be other requirements from the OS plug-and-play support that are not in the serial driver at this point.<br />
<br />
Good luck!

Plug and Flush!!!  (Zoom PCI problems)

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
