Hi,
I have an internal ISA 3Com modem working 99% of the time on SuSE 9. I have just obtained a Duxbury v.92 external serial modem and would like to configure this external modem as a secondary modem that I could select in the KPPP device settings.
Can I just plug the modem in and select the ttyS0 port and just hit connect in kppp? I am already using the /dev/modem port for the internal one and I do not want to mess with its settings, until I can remove the internal one. I am assuming that all the authentication data that needs to authenticate me to the ISP will not have to be reconfigured ie tel no., username, password so that the device used to connect up is irrevalant, provided the right port is chosen? If this is incorrect then your call if you provide further help by giving me the file names to edit etc.

Hylton, You should just be able to use YaST2 to set the modem up as normal. Use /dev/ttyS0 instead of modem and then continue with all other settings for your ISP as you did for the internal. To use either, just right click on the kppp icon and select the one you want to dial out on from there. I've never set up two modems before, but I don't see a problem as they are not using the same IRQ or serial port, so there are no conflicts for you to deal with.
