All, Still can't seem to dial out ...

Tried every permutation of PAP, CHAP and CHAT, dialup # with and without area code, and never got beyond this output from plog: "pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid0 connect script failed Exit." ... am going to contact the ISP today to see if there's any information they can provide. "Connect script failed" to -me- says that the modem is dialing but that the connection is crapping out because there's something wrong with the configuration. However, just to make the picture weirder, I tried wvdial. The wvdialconf program gave me -this- message: "Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- nothing. Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3 Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial?" ... so I began to explore setserial! Here is what setserial gives for /dev/ttyS0: "/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4" ... wufff. Is there anything wrong here? One program can't detect my modem, but it looks (to my newbie eyes) like the modem is A-OK.
