Down the home stretch with an Intel internal modem.

Hi all,

Well I finally got online with my external modem so I could
download the files needed for my Intel 536 install. I got
through that ok but now after I disconnected my external
modem and rebooted the computer and try to use my internal
modem through "System - Administration - Networking"
where I set the modem to /dev/modem I get the error:
"Could not enable the interface ppp0" when I try to activate
the internal modem. I think that I have to set a logical link
between where the Intel modem is installed and the /dev/modem
but I don't know the exact command to do that. If you have
any other suggestions or know how to fix this please enlighten.
It does lode the Intel module at boot time.

thanks,
charles......
