Is that a winmodem? &nbsp;If so, forget it. &nbsp;If you know what the IRQ is for the modem in windows 98, then you should be able to figure it out. &nbsp;Turn off the plug and play in your CMOS. &nbsp;Then boot into Linux. &nbsp;Select the tty* setting that corresponds to that IRQ. &nbsp;More than likely it will be a ttyS* choice. &nbsp;If you type pnpdump at the command line, you should see that Linux should recognize the modem. &nbsp;That is a good sign if it does. &nbsp;Try that. &nbsp;In the PPP setup use the query modem for each tty* setting until the modem responds. &nbsp;If it still doesn't respond, it is either not compatible or it may require a Linux driver, which I haven't ran into yet.
