<DIV>I've just went through Mr. Carr suggestion:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Checking the modem: it is a HSF 56k HSFi Modem; the kernel of mandrake is 2.4.21-0.13mdk. Downloaded the hsflinmodem driver from linuxant for the corespond kernel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. I renamed the driver into "hsflinmodem.rpm" burned into cd (doing that under windows).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try to install the driver ;Turn on my mandrake; Going to Mandrake Control Center</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3 Open the Console (Is it similar as the terminal? )</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4.On the localhost... type su -</DIV>
<DIV>it says local host/root (forget..) and try to type .. </DIV>
<DIV>cd rpm -i hsfmodem driver etc. ...finally all failed..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm wandering whether:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Steps 1 or 2 is wrong </DIV>
<DIV>2. Mr Carr (or anyone else), please provide me with more details on step 4</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. Regarding this..."Buy a proper 56K hardware external modem - you'll remember the quality long after the price...!", what sort of modem suggested?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Kadim<BR></DIV>
