Puppy 5.28 with Connextant D850 9x DFCv modem Sub_title: How do I connect
Could someone (in simple terms) explain how I can get Puppy to recognise this modem. I tried the dial up package but it will not see the modem. I am new to puppy and not the most computer literate user.

Hi xbob
Lupu 528 isn't really targeted at modem users so it may be that the support for your modem isn't included.
You are probably better off using the Wary5.1.4.1 version of Puppy which does support dialup modems much better.
First thing to do on lupu528 is to open a console window and type dmesg and see if you can see anything to suggest that your modem has been detected.
If you need help from the forum then you need to give more details of your setup - is your modem a pci card? or a USB modem? or a pcmcia modem?
Have you used the forum search facility to look for mentions of your modem?
