I tried that, only to discover it was already done.

Then I remembered that when I'd installed the Linuxant driver for my 
modem, something didn't go quite right, and they advised me to take 
these other steps. I'd forgotten that I had to go into Mandake control 
first, and do a fresh setup each time I want to go online.

Then - I go into a terminal, su to root, and add these lines;
hcfpciconfig --serial
depmod -e -a
modprobe -v/dev/ttySHCF

After that I can go to KPPP and dial up with no problem.

However, I sure hope one day to find a short cut! It is quite a routine! :)

Does anyone know of a way to program all this so I can just click on an 
icon or open my email , or a browser, to get the dialing going?

I did get online again using this routine, but it was too late, and I 
was getting too sleepy to do anything.


Blessings & Thanks,
Ruth
