Re: [Modem trouble]
What kind of 56k modem do you have (v90, X2, or Flex)? Which does your ISP
support?
I can tell I'm connected by using plog. The last line (when I'm finally
connected) is my IP address.

connect me to the remote server? I have just the base system. I have no
communcation software, like seyon or minicom or EzPPP, etc..neither do I have
any GUI, like XWindows..And I am the sole user of the system. I intend adding
more utililies, like XWIndows, etc..once I have the modem working properly and
am able to connect to my ISP.
