Done that. Still no go, still coming up with pppd error. "E. Stewart" wrote: Try using port ttyS3or you can just make the symbolic link yourself. After that /dev/modem should work.

Open a terminal and log in as su, then type the following: setserial -g /dev/ttyS3 If it sees your modem properly, you will see the uart ref., port id and irq3. The other thing is Kppp. I like it because of its ease in setup and the utilities built in. If you open Kppp, go to Setup. Under the Device tab, select /dev/ttyS3, then go to the Modem tab. The Query tab does AT queries of your modem and displays the response. The Terminal tab gives you quick access and if you can type 'at' 'enter' and get an OK response, then you are at least talking to the modem. I was looking through The Linux Modem-HOWTO and it has a far troubleshooting guide with instructions on how to change the IRQ if need be. Barry :-)
