Damn, keeping up with you is like trying to keep up with a rooster in a hen house. I'm not trying to be mean but I would take a couple of deep breaths, try and limit posting to one thread that deals with the same subject. Find the "edit" button to add to a message rather than posting multiple messages in a row, etc.
Again, not trying to be mean, it's just BBS ethics. Also, if at all possible, try and find your answers on Google first before asking here. It may take you a little longer the first couple of times but believe me, you'll be better off in the long run. Thanks for your consideration.

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hard-details.php3?F_TYPE=modem&F_ID=409

I agree with void main. Pls calm down a bit and try to edit your posts (no offense) . This might after all be your modem in the Mandrake HDB and since you're getting a dial tone then it should work. Try also kppp in KDE to set it up. As I told you I have no clue about AOL so I can't help with that, sorry...

Ever used AOL 2.5 or AOL 3.0? Now's your chance. Heh.
A better idea would be ditching AOL and signing up with a cheap, local ISP. They're usually faster then AOL, and they have a _competent_ tech department. The one I used to use "unofficially" supported Linux (meaning some of the techs would help me, even if they weren't supposed to). These guys, http://mylinuxisp.com/, are mainly Linux. But I dount you live in their area (but you might have Linux-supporting ISPs in your area, it's worth checking out).

Hey.., im sure it works.. BUT um...
well : I went under Macc and configured my modem, when it asks for what I want the phone and User ID and pass and DOMAIN I PUT
1-760-blahblah ( this is an AOL access number )
then for user and pass, I put my aol account and password..
for domain i jsut put AOL
i clicked connect, IT ACTUALLY DIALED! Im like HELL YES!!!
i looked at my external modem after it had started dialing.
the little red dots on the front ( which indicate its connected ) all lit up!!!
then, to my dismay, even tho my modem WAS CONNECTED TO SOMETHING! i looked at the little status tab and it said : FAILED TO CONNECT .. or something
do you think that putting an aOl access number and aol account / pass and AOL for domain will work? or something like that? I just want to get on the internet wif linux is all.....
was i correct in putting AOL for domain?? I doubt it...
