Hello,

i borrowed a d-link external modem from a friend of mine. i have rhl 7.3 fresh install on my sys. kudzu didn't detect it. i searched on google to find out that "/usr/sbin/kudzu -p" does detect it & it did. in fact it detected it & also my d-link sm56 internal modem, but i cudn't initialize it 2 work using kppp. kppp says "sorry, could not open modem"

Please ensure that the entry /dev/modem (a symbolic link) is pointing towards proper entry. If you have connected your modem to COM1 port in Windows /dev/modem should point to /dev/ttyS0. for COM2 it should point to /dev/ttyS1. (Note capital "S")
