The ftp method for dselect has no way of knowing how you connect to an off
site location. This could be done (and usually is) via an ethernet card,
via slip, plip, ppp, or even wic interfaces. I guess that dselect could be
made inteligent enough to ask you if you needed to make a net connection
that wasn't already establised, but it doesn't do that at this point.

For starters /dev/modem (if it exists at all) is a link. You should
specify the actual port being used. In this case that is /dev/ttyS1.
Make sure that you have a call to chat in the script for doing the dial
out to your isp, user name and password...that sort of thing, before
passing off the connection to the ppp daemon.
