Hi,
        I am using red Hat 6.0. I have a mgetty running for users to dial in
to my system.now since i want to connect to the internet,
i use minicom to dial, and successfully log in to my isp's account, and
start ppp on HIS server, and when the garbage - like characters start
coming, i give the command :
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 38400 crtscts modem defaultroute
noipdefault -detach
on a separte terminal
however i get the command : device ttyS1 is locked by process id 1376

I remeber, that using this same procedure i once used to successfully
connect to the internet.
Please help me..
Thanks a ton,
regards,
Gaurav Agarwal
