I gave up on the current version of DSL a while back because it could not find my Seimens SpeedStream 4200 modem.

Everything else about DSL is impressive, so it is worth another attempt if anyone has some new suggestions to try.

Thanks

Could you give some more details - is your modem internal, external, serial, USB, pcmcia, cardbus, a winmodem or?

My modem is external and NOT a Winmodem. It is connected to my computer through the normal LAN 1 (RJ-45) port on an ASUS M2N-E motherboard.

The strange thing is that I am using SUSE 10.2 with no problems with modem detection, and the same applies when using PUPPY.

It's not a modem. It's a network bridge (like a router) for broadband network connections. It doesn't MOdulate or DEModulate anything.

Second, try this and see if it helps:

That isn't strange at all. Every distro has its own hardware detection and kernel configuration. It would be strange if everything always worked perfectly the first time through. Both distros that work for you right off the bat don't work with my hardware right off the bat.
