RE: modem problems
hi,
he's using redhat 6.1 and it can't be permission problems since he was doing
everything as root. you're right that everyone should say what distro their
using, i'm sorry but i keep on forgetting that not everyone is using redhat.
:o)

I guess it isn't a winmodem since minicom seems to get along it fine.
What about permissions problem?
Since he is having problems, perhaps trying command line tools is a better
approach? I would also try to consult the PPP-HOWTO.
Just out of curiosity: what distro is your friend using?
BTW: I think that everybody who post technical difficulties to the list
should
mention the disrto in question. Perhaps this is a step towards Maddog linux
standardization?
