Thanks Rob. OK, I installed minicom and got it to dial the modem. It repeatedly came back with NO CARRIER after repeated attempts. BTW, in Fedora I can usually dial in first time; there I am activating the modem with a program called Network Device Control. So it seems something is still wrong. As far as pppd goes, I am not sure what to do. I reviewed the files that I think pppd uses: /etc/ppp/peers/provider /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/chap-secrets /etc/chatscripts/provider They seem fine, though pppd doesn't connect with the modem while minicom clearly does. Does anyone know if I have to setserial manually all the time? If so, is it because I have an internal modem, 5610 56K FaxModem USR 56k Internal Voice Modem (Model 2976)?
