Can you use that modem with Puppy?  If so, does the
Puppy config file show which port is being used?
Otherwise, you could use microcom (in BL3) to check
the modem ports (there are only 5 or 6 possible ports).

I don't understand.  Which menu entries?  
JWM?  mail?  I can't think of any menus that 
have entries like that.  Please tell us which 
menu you mean.

^M could be a control code (with N the real character).
You sometimes see such control codes at the end of 
lines when you examine (in Linux) a file written in DOS.
