Please help my modem does not work

[northfield]

have linux (mandrake flavor) on my computer. I want to connect to the internet (that is make my modem work.).

The modem works under MS windows but I can't make it work under linux.

I have an icon on my desk top called internet. I have set it up but I have a feeling it was not configured properly.

When I click okay button, it says "connecting to ..."
Then gives me message "Sorry, the modem doesn't respond"

My modem is a Rockwell international HCF 56k PCI Connexant modem.

I have found set of drivers and HowTo at:


http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto...uick-start.html

A program got started ... informing me what was happening ... finally it gave me message that my modem was installed on /dev/ttySHCFO.


Next I need to set up internet connection so thus:

On my desktop clicked on icon "Internet"
Internet/run as root - entered root password/selected "use autodetection"/...

Then it gives me set of serial ports that the modem is connected to:
ttyS0/COM1
ttyS1/COM2
ttyS2/COM3
ttyS3/COM4
ttyS4/COM5
ttyS5/COM6
ttyS6/COM7
ttyS7/COM8
/dev/modem

I have tried with all ports but no luck.
I think I need to do something iwth symbolic links???

Please help.
