modem configuration

[webwiseguy]

I'm using Knoppix 3.1 bootable CD. Is there a way to configure a a Lucent Microelectronics Venus Modem (V90, 56KFlex). Red Hat 8.0 recognizes this modem but it appears that Knoppix needs some configuration.

I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks,
Curt

You may need to add a device. I have the same modem as you if I 'cat /proc/pci'. If it is installed on harddisk go to /dev directory, and try './MAKEDEV/ttyS4' and 'ln -s modem ttyS4' and 'chmod 666 modem'. Then use /dev/modem in kppp.
