I am Linux newbie.

Can I connect to the internet, when running DSL from my CD drive?

I am using a U.S.Robotics 56K Performance Pro Modem, pn R24.0208.00

It is a hardware modem

Modem is on /dev/ttyS4 ("COM 5" w/ Win 98SE)

My dialup speed is usually at 28k.

I left modem port speed at 115200, as suggested.

I got message No Modem found, and entered the port by hand

After completing the PPP configuraton, I am not able to connect to the internet. Nothing happens. I get no error messages. I do not hear my modem attepting to dial out.

I tried to connect to the internet using another distro, Feather Linux. After completing the configuration, and getting nothing, I clicked on PPPstaus and got a message that the modem was busy

Am I in error in thinking that I can connect to the internet with out installing DSL on the hard drive?

Any suggestions

I have a US Robotics 56K Performance Pro Modem.
The model/pn of mine is 5610B and I have used it to
connect to the net while running from a mini-CDR and
from a usb pen-drive and hdd of course.

I had to enter my port manually as "ttyS4" and filled in all
of the other requested info and have no problem connecting.

I have used several Linux distros that I have had a problem with
connecting but DSL always has worked with my modem.

I also have a usr5610b modem, works perfectly with slackware, however I cannot get a connection with it in DSL.

Must be something in the config, but I've done it several times with the same result, dials, screeches, then exits saying connect failed.

Please advise.
