What kind of 56k modem do you have (v90, X2, or Flex)? Which does your ISP support?
I can tell I'm connected by using plog. The last line (when I'm finally connected) is my IP address. Steve >I have connected an external 56k modem to com1 (ttyS0).

Will issuing a telnet connect me to the remote server? I have just the base system. I have no communcation software, like seyon or minicom or EzPPP, etc..neither do I have any GUI, like XWindows..And I am the sole user of the system. I intend adding more utililies, like XWIndows, etc..once I have the modem working properly and am able to connect to my ISP. > > ____________________________________________________________________ More than just email--Get your FREE Netscape WebMail account today at http://home.netscape.com/netcenter/mail
