Hi back -
If it's an external modem, turn it off. If it's an internal,
send it AT&F0. This works on external ones too.
A modem problem doesn't necessarily mean a bad Linux install.
It could be an illegal init string. Edit your PPP script and
send a reset command AT&F0 and the phone number AT5551212.
Internal modems: Just say no.

Hi all --
I'm experiencing some problems with my modem under Linux.
When I try my dialup connection in GNOME or KDE, I get the
message
that the modem is busy. When I try ppp from the command line, I
get the
message that the connect script failed. When I use minicom, it
reports
that I'm already online. I pick up the phone handset and get a
dial
tone.
I even went so far as to uninstall Linux, format the drives and
reinstall. Same results.
The modem works under winblows :-(
Any ideas on how to reset the modem?
Woody
