Ok, so I'm clueless. :) Setting up an external modem.

[Scott Alan Burch]

Start with some basic troubleshooting. I have a Mac  9500 with a Best Data 
56k external modem that I bought at Fry's. The first thing I did was made 
sure it would dial from the Mac OS side before I tried it on the YDL side.

I recall that since the MacOS saw the modem and would dial it from the 
modem port, the "Dialup Configuration" on KDE already had the modem 
defaulted as /dev/ttyS0.

Hope this helps.
