Hi I hope someone can help me with this.
I loaded the Debian base on my laptop, hoping to get the rest of the packages off the net using dselect. At first I thought that I had a problem using pppconfig, so I got Minicom and wvdial and found that after issuing ATZ to the modem that the modem wasn't responding. It is an external modem on the serial port. The laptop has a trackball and no other mouse. The modem was on and when issuing ATZ did flicker a few lights, but other than that did nothing. In fact, wvdialconf doesn't even detect the modem. I then thought the modem was broken and took it off, attached it to a win machine and could connect to the net within minutes. If anyone could help me with this problem, I would be very greatful. Thanks Thys
