Dialup and Konquerer?

Hi,

Is it possible to use konquerer and a 56K modem for the internet?

If so, how? I've really no idea how to install a 56K modem on a laptop either via serial or PCMCIA port. Does anyone have any info on this?

Note: I'm not installing gentoo, I've done that over wireless, but need a 56K connection for when I'm oversees.

Thanks

there is enough information for installing a modem already in this forum:
->buy a modem (i used one at serial port)
->connect it
->emerge pppconfig (if you have no internetconnection you'll have to download the tar somewhere
->use pppconfig to make all work (which shouldn't be a problem)

don't know, why it shouldn't work with konquerer

since you will have kde installed why not use kppp its very easy to configure both your modem and your account with it. also it will dock showing your connection status and more..
