I need help here. in Windows my modem is 3Com/US Robotis.
I need help how to set my modem up on linux Fedora Core 3?
Answering for complete newbie!
I really need this fast. Thanks!

------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)
Kernel
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.9-1.667
The kernel-2.6.9-1.667 was compiled with CONFIG_REGPARM, providing more compact and faster code.
The kernel was assembled with compiler: 3.4.2
with current System compiler GCC=3.4.2
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
kernel-headers have base folder /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.
Checking for USB modems
None found

Beginning with Fedora 2 kernel-2.6.6-1.427, kernel-headers needed
for compiling drivers are provide at: /lib/modules/kernel-version/build/
Thus upgrading above kernel 2.6.5-1.358 to 2.6.6-* is Stongly Recommended
pppd version 2.4.2 may not be fully compatible with 2.6.8 kernel releases.
If an initial CONNECT is achieved without PPP being subsequently established,
drop back to a 2.4.1 version. This has worked for PCTEL AMR modem users,
supported by the http://www.smlink.com slmodem software.
Check pppd version with:
pppd --version
See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03167.html
For kernel-version 2.4.20-8 , a failure in utomatic loading of PPP related modules
has been reported. It was necessary to manually load with:
/sbin/modprobe /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_generic
/sbin/modprobe /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_deflate
/sbin/modprobe /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_synctty
/sbin/modprobe /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_async
or dialout efforts failed.
The Internet Configuration Wizard writes a configuration file:
/etc/wvdial.conf
containing a line default line
Stupid Mode = yes
Better dialup performance may be achieved by commenting out this line as:
# Stupid Mode = yes
Also non-USA Users may need to add to the [Modem0] block:
Init2 = AT+GCI=hexadecimal_country_code
but test without it first.
redhat is not yet providing pre-compiled drivers for WinModems
