Thanks to the help of E.Paris and Shaleh, I've got my problem pretty much narrowed down; hopefully someone can get me through the last bit.
I am using an IBM 755Thinkpad with a Megahertz XJ1144 modemcard. The modemcard is not a winmodem as was suggested to me-- Eloy Paris dug out a XJ1144 card he had and it worked for him. I have the card in /dev/ttyS0 I have installed the Debian base using 1.4 disks and now I am trying to use apt in dselect in order to get the rest via ftp. I ran pppconfig already. When i insert my card I get two friendly Beeps. The result of ls -s /dev/ttyS0 is: crw-rw----1root dialout 4 [time/date] /dev/ttyS0 When I pon, my plog gets to "expect" and nothing happens. I do not think my modem is dialing at all. If anyone has had this problem please help! Three weeks into the installation process and I am starting to lose my nerve!
