total linux newbie

Hey, guys. I have 1 important question to get me started with Linux.

If any of you would be kind enough to carry on this conversation with me via e-mail (on a non-point basis of course) that would also be great. E-mail dan@catapultic.com.

Anyway, here is my setup question.
---------
In Linux, it won't recognize my modem. I tried creating a link to /dev/modem using LISA. When I go to query the modem in kppp it tells me it's busy. I'm using a LT Win Modem.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated to help me get started with this neat little OS.

Thanks SO much in advance.

Oh, dammit.

Well, I guess I know what I'm getting for Christmas.

Thanks!

Sometimes you can pick up 3com 28800 modems almost for free, if you don't mind the reduction in speed.  Phone lines here are poor and the difference between those and 56K modems is neglible in my system...
