This might seem obvious but caught me out a couple of weeks ago. Is your PCI modem a real modem or a 'Winmodem'. If it's a winmodem, it will not work under Linux as I found out to my cost. Regards David Yatsen Ng wrote:

I have an E-Tech PCI 56k internal modem which I'm trying to configure. I used minicom to create a configuration file. I set the serial device to /dev/ttyS2 since my modem is on the third serial port.

Oh yes, I also set the modem to the correct port with YaST during the installation. What am I doing wrong?
