HOORAY! i'm getting close! thanks for all of your help.  I used /dev/modem under kppp and it queried my LT linmodem but it did not respond. i tried to dial up any ways and it didnot initialize. when i ran the query it found the modem but it did not give any response back.. under my isapnp.conf the modem is set to irq 3 or 4 cant remember cauze i had to come back to windoze.. my bios says its on 9 when my machine boots up.. could this be the problem?

Hi Roy,
Same basic configuration as me. Before we try anything more complicated, you
should go into the kppp , setup tab. In there, under 'device' you should try
the /dev/tty0 or /dev/tty1 .
Also, I have flow control set to xon/xoff. Under the 'modem' tab, there is a
'query' button. You could give that a try and see if your modem is responding
at all.
I'm sure you're very close.

Regards,
Bill W.
