Well, I'm doing this from memory (and I'm old and slow and at work!), but I imagine YaST2 uses /dev/modem, which is a pointer to something like /dev/tty0, which in DOS terms would be Com1. You don't need to configure your modem using YaST2 however, as I think all it will do is use wvdial as a backend. Try kppp, the settings default to /dev/modem, but you can change that. Otherwise try wvdial directly, it's a commandline program but is very reliable. Check out man wvdial from your xterm. k.

I have it on Com2 and AFAIK there are no conflicts - it works fine in other distros and in windoze. Any other reasons you can think of ?

Thanks

Then perhaps you've got IRQ conflicts between your modem and other devices? Check your BIOS settings for the port your modem is on.

Well, My Pace Solo external won't work !

See my earlier post, I cannot install either 6.4 or 7.0 via yast2 as it gives a red box error message. if I switch off the modem it installs OK, but cannot use yast2 to configure it. I know I can do it in other ways, but why doesn't Yast2 handle the modem ?

Also if I try to configure X with Sax2 it screws up the keyboard - any thoughts on that before I go to another distro that works first ime e.g. Caldera or Mandrake ?

thanks
