5.Select the (Web hosting script) proper device from the Modem Device
5.Select the proper device from the Modem Device drop-down list. If you know your modem is on COM1 or COM2 in Windows, translatingthis techno-talk to Linux isn t hard: You just need to subtract 1. So, it sttyS0 for COM1 and ttyS1 for COM2. If you re not using a USB mouse (it has a flat, rectangular connector), then your modem is probably onCOM2. If you re using a USB mouse, your modem is probably on COM1.6.Select your modem s speed from the Baud Rate drop-down list. If you were told to use a specific speed, choose that speed here. Otherwise, choose the highest number available. The key is to try thehighest setting and, if that doesn t work, start choosing slower andslower ones until you re able to properly make the connection. Leave the Flow Control setting alone. Only change this setting if you rehaving a hard time getting your modem connection to work, or you retold by your ISP that you specifically need to select either Software FlowControl or No (None) Flow Control. 7.Turn on your modem volume so that you can hear what it s doingwhile testing it. You ll want to come back later and shut off the volume. (Well, mostpeople do; some like to leave it on. I think the 56.6kbps modems soundlike an alien game of Pong, personally, while they re connecting). It s upto you how loud you want to set the sound, as long as you can hear it. Leave Touch Tone Dialing activated unless you live in an area that onlysupports rotary phones. 8.Click Forward to proceed. The Select Provider dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 8-4.
