Hi, I recently tried to get onto the Internet with Damn Small Linux, but my modem is not detected. When I create a connection with the PPP tool, it never automaticly detects my modem and when I click connect, it says the modem script failed. I downloaded another application
from the website, but it scanned for a modem and said the modem was not detected. It did the same thing on another computer. Why is my
modem not detected?

What kind of Modem is it? What model? What chip?
Linux is not good with Winmodems. It is good with serial/parallel external modems, which are certainly not winmodems. It is not clear about USB external modems.

It is a built-in modem that I got with my laptop. A Toshiba Software Modem AMR. The desktop computer I tried it on was a Compaq with a PCI modem card, I think it is an Aopen modem. In Windows, the modems are on COM3
