Is there a tool to set up ppp links or should I be doing things like
#!/bin/sh
PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
pppd connect chat -v -f /etc/ppp.chatscript /dev/ttyS0 38400 modem crtscts
etc...
I dont have this working yet but, this should be enough to get the idea

i am replying to my own message but i finally found out what the

the culprit and i will file it as a bug against it (2.12 that is, 2.11

I wouldn't recommend using /dev/modem link. This makes it
more difficult to gurantee the uucp locking protocol. Use

I haven't had time to play with menus and pdmenus. I installed them and
began using them "as is". That's a compliment. Now, whenever I install
a few packages, I run update-menus as root just in case. Then I run
pdmenu and restart fvwm2 to see if anything got added. It's always a
