It has been 6 days since I
It has been 6 days since I posted this question.
I guess either this list is dead or noone
...
knows the answer to my question
Well, Try Again
Well Bruce, you can try again. Only this time, can you please provide more information? Because a pcmcia card is NOT an external modem.
What version of Mepis are you trying to run? Are you running from the Live CD or has it been installed? Have you tried using any other versions of Linux, and if so, what were your results? Have you used earler versions of Mepis?
Letting us know that the modem works in Windows is only slightly helpful since most modems (internal and external) come with Windows drivers. In the Linux world, most EXTERNAL modems can be recognised automatically.
With more information, perhaps someone can give you information to get you going.

might work
It may be possible to get this modem working in Mepis
Remove the card when booting the system
After boot, insert the card
Then
type the following commands in a konsole as root
pccardctl insert
pccardctl ident
pccardctl status
Now look at /var/lib/pcmcia/stab, the stab file will tell you the port (for example: ttys0)
enter the port (TTYS0) into your modem dialing program (kppp)
(Not sure this is correct for Mepis, and I have no pcmcia on this desktop)
(check /var/log/messages or dmesg after insert to get the port if that's not the correct file).

Zonet Modem
Sorry I haven't replied back in a while.
I decided to wait for a newer version of
Mepis to see if the Zonet modem would work
with it.
Turns out that Mepis 6.5 recognizes it
and places it on /dev/ttyS1.
With 6.5 I can have the modem alreay in
the machine at boot up time.
I can now use Mepis for Dial up
internet with my Thinkpad T41.
