RE: [newbie] Modem troubles..

[David Sizemore]

I had the same trouble, but with a Win(ugh!)modem that someone had written
drivers for.  I first ran the init strings from the terminal, but when it
connected, I got a lot of useless characters that kept me from inputting
username/password.  I found that it was hanging up trying to set
non-standard speaker volume commands.  I deleted these from the modem
commands page in the KPPP setup, and it connected rather quickly.  hope this
helps
