Okay -- you gotta tell us where you connected the modem, though. I wish
I were clairvoyant (x-ray vision would be nice, too -- but I digress).
Sadly, I am not.
Is it internal? External? --- External
What port did you put it on? ---port3 ( ithink)
What /dev file is kppp pointing to? it was /dev/modem but that did
nothing so I changed it to tty2 in kppp and now it says it is busy , even
though its not in use .
If it's /dev/modem, is there a symbolic link called /dev/modem that is
pointing to the appropriate serial port?
Get back to us with answers to these important questions. =)
