Getting Dialup Working

[Thomas D. Ward]

Snip.
Can I use that command line if the modem is connected but there are no
drivers for it?

What type of connection do you have, and is this a win modem? If it is a
serial external modem usually wvdialconf will pnp detect it, and if it is an
internal hardware modem wvdialconf will detect it. If it is a usb modem you
will need to have usb modem support and usb serial support. Don't know if
wvdialconf can pick that up. I imagine it could if kudzu properly detected
it, and set it up in /etc/modules.conf.
If it is a win modem the modem is probably not able to be used. Need more
info on the modem.

snip.
If I need to install drivers for that modem, how can I do it if I don't know
what type of modem it is?
I hope it is possible.

Well, we need to know some basics like if it is a hardware modem or a Win
modem chip set which needs a special driver. Also what type of connection
serial or usb. If it is internal pci or isa.
