Very Computer

I'm very new to linux and don't know how to install nearly anything. But I
am having a LOT of trouble with my modem. Can somebody help me? I have a
Diamond Supra 56i pro , it a winmodem (ithink). Is there anyone with this
modem installed that can help me.

If it is really a winmodem, not even God can help you (unless God starts
talking to modem vendors and tells them to release their software for
linux - uhm, well, nevermind, not even God could accomplish this).

Try comp.os.linux.help.  Again though, Winmodem's don't work in Linux.

But, say I have real modem :) what would I do to install it?

Plug it in, tell Linux what port it's on (Com1 = /dev/cua0 and /dev/ttys0,
Com2 = /dev/cua1 and /dev/ttys1) then configure a dialler, maybe kppp or
ezPPP or X-ISP.  And that's it.  REAL modems don't NEED drivers, that is
just a fallacy promoted by Bill Gates so you don't think Windows is brain
dead. :-)
