Maybe I should, but I haven't any use for ppp.

Ah. OK.

pppconfig gave me "set modem manually" as the only option. 8(

Well I would imagine that Linux uses /dev/ttyS0 - ttyS3 for serial ports. What does 'dmesg |grep tty' show you?

bingo: tty00 at somehex1 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC; port = modem tty01 at somehex2 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC; port = printer tried tty00 and tty01. no luck. so I wrote a simple script that tried ttyS* tty0* cua* to no avail. the modem is on. the modem is plugged in to the line. the modem works well in macos. what gives??? any help appreciated. max. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
