Re: External modem
Hi, Thanks for your help. I used Knoppix to install Debian. Knoppix has its own utilities for Internet connections. I used it to configure my account. When I was using 115200, the modem was dialing but not connecting. But on reducing the rate to 52000, it connected on 2nd attempt. Now its working. Thanks for your help.

Re: External modem
Muhammad Ali quotes: > I have configured my external modem (it has been detected by debian) > according to this article http://www.aboutdebian.com/modems.htm This is unnecessarily complex. All you need to do to configure your modem is run pppconfig as root and follow directions. When you are done you can start the connection with pon and stop it with poff. You can also configure it to autodial. I fyou require a GUI to start and stop the connection install gpppon. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: external modem problem
More info on the problem. If I completely shutdown the computer, i.e. shutdown -h instead of shutdown -r, wait a little, then restart, I can use the modem a few times (sometimes only once) before it again becomes unresponsive. One time I tried this it hung Minicom on exit until I turned the modem off, and another time it hung the shutdown process until I turned the modem off. I seem to have something seriously misconfigured -- any help would be much appreciated. Richard Richard Weil wrote: > Aaargh.
