Thanks for your patience Wilton, please stay with me if you

Hi John, you may not have solved your problem with an external usb
USRobotics modem. If it was a relatively cheap modem it is probably
a software modem, and as such will give you a few headaches. I
have a USRobotics model 5637 that as far as I know is the only
external usb model from USRobotics that will work with no problems.
It goes on ttyACM0 that is number 0 not uppercase o. What type and
model of modem you have been using. An external serial model will
usually give you no problems. Google linux usb modems and check
them out, or go to the USRobotics web site, and do some checking
there. Winton



Hi Winton, thanks for staying with me. I have the same type modem
,usrobotics usr5637, that one works fine with opoensuse, I jus
switch it between computers. John.



Had you stated that when asked back on the 10th perhaps someone could
have helped you earlier.

Perhaps these will help:
