I have managed to lockout my modem (under PCQL7.1) and am unable to unlock it. I wanted to use Pine, and so, wanted to connect to the internet from console, for which I tried wvdial. I was able to log on ( message given was something like : ppp services started on 12th feb 2002 at 10:00:00 hrs) but did not get to the command prompt. I did not know how to log out, so tried cntrl-c, which assured me : trying to exit gracefully. The telephone connection was cut-off, but the modem got locked. Now, whenever I try to connect to internet (either from console or under X -RP3), I get a message : cannot open /dev/ttyS0 : Device or resource busy. I need some guidance to - 1. unlock mu modem ( it is an external 56kbps rockwell modem) 2. how to disconnect from wvdial (I have tried ./pppd ttyS0 disconnect, without success) 3.how to get to start pine after logging on through wvdial. I am forced to use windoze to send this message. Thanks in advance, K.Ghosh.
