Hi, You should check if you are a member of the group dip. If not, make it so. You could always, as suggested, make a connection using pppconfig. But watch out, if you can make a connection using pppconfig you not ready. Check out the advanced options of pppconfig, there you will find which user to grant permission for using ppp. And final, check the permissions of your modem device (ttySx). You can do so by sending an echo to the device or using minicom.
