i found the information at 

http://www.grass.org/LDP/LDP/nag/node56.html

(a page called "accessing serial devices" from the 
"network administrator's guide") helpful here...

i have been playing the same game, getting minicom to actually
find my modem, and just succeeded. however now although 
the modem will dial up, the connection is so slow that i 
get timed out before the login screen of my provider has
appeared! any hints from anyone out there?


cheers, ruth.
