External Serial modems and esp. USR external modems work with Linux pretty well , just make sure that you are using the correct com port , i mean selecting the right com port settings from kppp or wvdial instead of /dev/modem, does your modem show any lights when you try to dial from your system.

First make sure your modem is on when you start your Linux Box !!gabriel_ameen wrote:I h've got a us robotics 5630B external serial modem.
