Networking :: lucent winmodem

hello all..
i am new to DSL (obviously) running it installed to my hard drive on an
old compaq laptop.
i have a lucent winmodem and from reading the forums, i understand that this particular winmodem should work with DSL.
i see that it is detected on startup, and i understand how to configure the dial-up, but how do i know what port the modem is installed on.
is there an easy way to find this? or do i just use trial and error?

BTW, i love DSL.. it's blazing fast on a 350MHz machine with 64meg of RAM
and does everything i need it to if i can figure out dial-up...
still trying to figure out Fluxbox, but i'm getting there.

If it is detected then /dev/modem is linked to /dev/ttyS14.
You should be able to use /dev/modem

Thanx...

worked like a charm!
