Modem

I've spent enough time trying to put on work Lucent Winmodem in my armada M300 (compaq laptop) I use Mandrake 8.0 but as soon as i get connected
and prompmts appears modem shutsdown.

Does any one had a similar situation, solved it?

cheers

If you can, do a tail -f /var/log/messages while the modem is dialing. If not, at least examine this file afterwards for more info on what's happening. If you still can't figure it out, post the bottom part of the file (with the usefull info), and we can try to help.

Oh geez... I missed the most important part of your post:

You may not be able to use that modem... If not, you'll have to buy a different one to get that box online...
