[ale] New to the game

[Pilar Losada]

Forgive me, but I am not sure what Minicom is .

 The modem was turned on. I tried Com1 and LPT1.  I have an internal
"WinModem on  on Com3. Linux does not see it. I did try  echo to
 /dev/ttyS0 -4. I had no luck.  The modem does have a 25 pin centronix
conector.  I also used the Dip -t program and that did not help either. I
Yesterday, someone recommended that I try www.linmod.com.  I have not had a
chance I will try this today.

Thanks for you help,

Andy
