No, if it is serial modem. Go to kppp and setup - put your user name, password, tel.number of your provider, IP dynamic, modem will be dev/ttyS0 or ttyS1. Lower your conection speed wich by default is very high (460000) to, say, 56000 or 115000.Quote:

Well I did all those settings and set my connection speed to a lower one as u said, but when i connect thru kppp it tells -modem status ok- initializing modem -after that nothing happens-
What could be the pblm?? :? :?:
Which dev did you setup ttyS0, ttyS1, this must be exact match. Do not connect first but use Query - it will find (or not!) modem. If not, change ttySx and try again.
I did query and it produced a window with ATI query listed and a lot of blank boxes.
I connected it to COM1 in Windows Is its equivalent in linux is ttyS0??
If it's on Com 1 yes its ttySOQuote:

How is your std modem connected to your PC? Over serial cable? If yes, than this is external, seral modem and can work without drivers. If not, I don't know, none experience with wireless modems.
Ya its connected to PC by a serial cable.Quote:

What I meant by wireless is that in places where phone cables are absent the phone companies provide a wireless connection Its similar to a mobile phone, the equipment is kyocera 2235 set.
It can be connected to the pc by a cable, it works as a std 33600bps modem under any windows versions.And my question is can it be configured under Linux ie Knoppix 4
I connected it to COM1 in my windows Me it worked fine.Quote:
