PCMCIA help!!!

[Patrice Bertrand]

Hi, I have installed Linux on a Winbook laptop. Everything works but my PCMCIA modem and I dont' understand why... My PCMCIA card is a made by Creative Labs and is fax-modem 28,800 bauds. I've tried to read the HOWTO-PCMCIA. It doesn't help and it is too complicated anyway... What I've done till now : I have installed the Linux base system from scratch with floppies I understand that the PCMCIA, if I follow the steps during installation, is normally done. I have set up a PPP connection But when i type "pon", nothing happens and i go back to the prompt.  Just one thing : my sound card is dead, i don't want to replace it so when i place the card in it's drive, i cannot hear the beep sound... But this shouldn't have any king influence.   So what am I supposed to do? To i have to run something like : mount /dev/modem /moden or what? Thanks for your help...
