    Hello All,

    I have a BCM V.90 56K Modem (PCI Bus 1, device 4, function 0) on an Intel
    Pentium 4 that the debian configuration software never did detect. I went
    on to try and configure PPP as best I could...

    When I try to use 'pon' I get messages about looking for ethernet cards
    instead of any dialilng. I believe the OS just has no idea that there is a
    modem installed. I have not found anything in the Debian manuals about all
    this; most of the advice seems to be for machines attached to networks.

    A wider search of of the web got me lots of inapplicable advice (references
    to hand-editing configuration files that are not in /etc/ mostly). Where do
    I go for information on this?

    Thank You,

    Eric Dickner
