 If the initialization commands are AT-type modem commands, this should
 work: o Open KPPP (Tip: Make sure the logging option is checked)
 o Select setup, modem, modem commands
 o Revise the initialization string as required (default is ATZ)
 Back out, and connect.

Thanks Carroll
I've tried every combination of strings I can think of but no success.  looks 
as if I'm stuck with the minicom-initialization route until I can figure out 
what's happening

[newbie] Initialize Modem

2002-10-10 Thread Peter Watson

I've got an Intel 536ep linmodem, using the drivers package from Intel's site 
makes it work fine except for one inconvenience.

Each time I reboot the system I have to launch minicom before I can use KPPP 
to dial up my ISP.  If I don't run minicom first the whole system locks solid 
and I have to turn off the power and boot up again. After using minicom the 
modem works fine until the next reboot.

It seems that minicom initializes the modem, anyone got any ideas how I can 
make this initialization pesistant?


Thanks in advance
