Alright, here's the deal.<br />
<br />
I JUST (well, I spent a good 90 minutes reading some docs after) installed Macmillian distro, says 'The Complete ... 6.5' on it.<br />
<br />
My modem won't respond, using kppp.<br />
<br />
Modem is an internal pci v.90 made by Computer Associates but I can't find for the life of me a model number anywhere...<br />
<br />
Anyways, I tried querrying all the devices listed in the box in kppp, but they either respond with 'Cant open modem', 'Modem isn't responding' or 'Modem is busy'. &nbsp;Works fine in Win9x....<br />
<br />
What do I do about this? &nbsp;Use a hammer? &nbsp;Stop being dumb? Buy a new modem? &nbsp;(That is totally an option, just tell me which ONE! Oh yeah, don't reccomend me a $200 job if one for $50 exists, please :) ) &nbsp;<br />
<br />
All help is appreciated! Mail me even! crimson_harvest@rocketmail<wbr />.com

Modem won't work... tell me what to do!

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

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.
