I don't need a fast conection on this computer, just a conection........ thanks, Danny

I gather the modem is an internal modem. I don't know how many times I've actually seen someone have this problem. But internal modems are windows modems, and don't work out of the box with linux. You need to install a patch in linux before it will work. Do some reading at the below sites. Need anymore help post a reply in here. http://www.linmodems.org/ http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
