Aaargh. I had posted about a problem I was having with my external modem a few days ago and then it suddenly started working. Well now, without my having done anything much, it now seems to have stopped working.
I'm running Potato with a 2.2.12 kernel. The modem is a US Robotics 56k Fax modem. After not working (i.e., it would not respond to AT commands) it started working fine once I compiled plug and play support into the kernel. Since then, I've installed a few packages, worked on getting mail set-up, and struggled somewhat with PCMCIA -- but haven't touched anything obviously related to the modem. But now it won't work! When I start Minicom, the TR light on the modem lights up, but the modem won't respond to any AT commands. This is incredibly frustrating. I would appreciate any help. Richard
