I seem to be stuck with a winmodem, and Slackware doesn't like it. (Sob story inside)

Become root with

Code:

su -

not with

Code:

su

Then read this one to have the modem loaded at systemboot.

Thanks!
One last thing - what is the importance of the dash after 'su'?

It will load the enviroment values like PATH where your user finds executables.
Take a look at su's man page for more detail.
