Last time I set up a serial modem it was trivially easy. For some completely inexplicable reason Ubuntu decided to take all of the dialup options out of the network manager since then but it should still be fairly easy to set up using gnome-ppp or kppp. I'll bring my phone extension lead to the next fixit meeting and I'm pretty confident we can get it all going in five minutes. 2009/7/26 Michael McDonald <mikencolleen(a)gmail.com>:

Yes indeed, I was told at the last WLUG Fixit meeting, after someone spent two hours trying to get a driver going for a Conextant internal modem and failed, that getting a serial modem would be trivially easy. However this has not proved to be the case and I am getting an earful from the groundcrew.
The last time I installed a serial modem I found that the most reliable method was using commands:- 1. pppconfig for setup 2. pon to connect 3. poff to disconnect
