Thanks Rob. OK, I installed minicom and got it to dial the modem. It
repeatedly came back with NO CARRIER after repeated attempts. BTW, in Fedora I
can usually dial in first time; there I am activating the modem with a program
called Network Device Control. So it seems something is still wrong.
As far as pppd goes, I am not sure what to do. I reviewed the files that I
think pppd uses:
/etc/ppp/peers/provider
/etc/ppp/options
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
/etc/chatscripts/provider
They seem fine, though pppd doesn't connect with the modem while minicom clearly
does.
Does anyone know if I have to setserial manually all the time? If so, is it
because I have an internal modem, 5610 56K FaxModem USR 56k Internal Voice Modem
(Model 2976)?
Thanks,
Gary
