Have You a "group right to write" for device /dev/ttyS0? In my system: debian:~# ls -l `which pppd` -rwsr-x--- 1 root dip 183504 lis 11 00:33 /usr/sbin/pppd debian:~# ls -l /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 gru 6 21:53 /dev/ttyS1 > (for /dev/ttyS0). Why /dev/ttyS0? This device is often "reserved" for a mice. I've ps2 mouse on /dev/psaux but modem is on /dev/ttyS1. As a ttyS0 doesn't want to work!!! Usual wvdial can scan ports and "find" properly modem. > pon <connectionname> starts the connection.
