Configuring the modem

[racuti1]

To all the developers, techs, and users   Who helped me get my mouse working in bash console and X I thank you very much.   My next immediate problem is to get my modem working. This way people trying to help me won't be so inconvenienced by me running back and forth from my living room computer to my bedroom computer!   I've run the pppconfig script. I had to leave the IP's blank because I don't have static IP's. When I type the "pon connection" command, the computer doesn't do anything. It just returns to the # prompt.   What am I doing wrong?   P.S.-   connection= the name I set for my connection.     Respectfully,   Richard P. Acuti
