Update! Pentech UM175 modem works in puppy 4.2.1

Puppy 4.2.1 has detected the pentech USB Modem as \dev\ttyACM0 It did say WARNING! LINE "115200" in /etc/ppp/options may conflict with wvdial! But I went ahead and tried it anyway. At first it had established a connection and I was as happy as can be, (doing the hammer dance in the living ...

Thank you very much! I have the printer installed in all but one computer. The one computer that has a pup_save file on the hard drive instead of on a flash drive is the only one that does not work because the pup_save file is to small like you had said. On that one I might just do a full install as...

I have managed to install puppy in 2 lap tops and 3 PCs as well as make bootable flash drives as gifts for friends and family. (Their printers worked right away) But I...
