Checked up /var/lock, contains directories /console & /subsys, also one file 'console.lock', with only one word 'kghosh' inside. /console has a single file 'kghosh' containing only a '1'. /subsys has many files all of zero length.
IMO, nothing suspicious here....? I also saw the following errors reported (while trying to access the modem): failed to activate ppp0 with error 6 & failed to activate ppp0 with error 35. Any suggestions please ? Regards, K.Ghosh. ----- Original Message ----- From: Naren Devaiah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: K.
