i want to connect to the internet through dos but cannot get Arachne to detect my modem.
I have not idea how to set up a PPP or anything like that. My Modem is a USB 56kbps modem.

Arachne and Nettamer will work with non "Hayes" compatible external, but earlier Dialler stacks require "Hayes" compatibility.
If you read the Arachne documentation some people have had success with PCI internal hardware modems!
