Re: modem problems



Try checking what device Minicom uses (/dev/ttyS0 for COM1, etc)
via Ctrl-A and O in Minicom. Then, see what device kppp tries to use
and change it. Also, 'ls -l /dev/modem' and if it points to the
wrong device, do 'ln /dev/therightdevice /dev/modem -s -i'.

On RedHat, I know linuxconf can setup ppp connections flawlessly.
Just do it from the menus (Network -> Client Tasks -> PPP),
and then try '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup ppp0'.
