Hmmm, maybe a better question would be "has anyone gone through the
installation process and been able to use their modem?"
I installed acording to the instructions for "NewWorld ROM systems: yaboot"
when I was done I got a horizontal "split" screen. I managed to play
around with Xconfigure to get past this in X.
I try to use ppp to dial out via my modem and the machine tells me
"modem not found"
however the system tells me from the command line that the modem is on
ttyS0.
So I'm stuck.
Has anyone gone through the installation per instructions and have their
modem work without hacking on their own?
