I left this message for another person with almost the sam problem.
I had nearly the same problem but had a VERY simple solution
I think we all have USR modems too. So here goes:
If you are using kppp It would not work if the volume setting was
set to high in settings.
Turn on the log and look what the modem is being sent.
On mine it was sending an ATL4 which the modem did not like.
I set the volume setting in kppp to the middle and it works fine.
Just something to try.
I have a USR v.90 modem with both USB and serial(using serial of
course).
Hope this helps
P.S. Also check to see what /dev/modem is pointing to. It may be
sending to the wrong com port. I think kppp has a debug or
terminal button under the modem tab that will bring up a term
program connected to the modem. Hit <enter> a few times and try
typeing AT and see if the modem responds with OK ... if not you
are probabally not on the correct com port.
