Hi there,
I just installed linux on my machine a couple weeks ago. I'm currently
using a powermac B&W G3(300mhz, 64mb RAM, 512 L2 cache) with a Best Data
Smart One 56k USB modem. I'm using the newest version of Yellow Dog linux
with gnome as my default window
manager. I have attempted to set up a connection to the net using kppp,
following all the standard directions for modem installation. I'm not sure
what to do, I don't even know if linux has detected my modem. How can I find
that out? If it is not detected, what can I do? What do I need to do as far
as special installation goes, if any?
In case you need these specs on my system, here they are:
Distribution: Red Hat Linux
Operating System: Linux
Distribution Version: Yellow Dog Linux (CS-1.1)
Operating System Version: #1 Thu Jul 29 16:04:31 MDT 1999
Operating System Release: 2.2.6-16bpmac
Processor Type: ppc
Host Name: (none)
User Name: root
X Display Name: :0
System Status: 1:43pm up 3 min, 1 user, load
average: 0.19, 0.22, 0.09
Thanks a million for your help,
Arch
