I installed and configured minicom but I'm still have a few problems. I ran minicom and entered the prefix and phone number, the modem dialed-up and connected to my isp. I then entered my user id and passwd and it when into ppp data or something to that effect and started sending data (aka junk and random symbols). I hit ctrl-A then q, and it asked me if I wanted to quit without resetting, I said yes and it dropped me back at the prompt. I typed pppd and it didn't do nothing, but it didn't give me an error. Then I when to ping myisp, ping www.linux.org, ping www.cnet.com and alot other, but every ping came back, network unreachable, or host not found. Same thing happens with telnet and ftp. But sometimes if I pick up the phone I can hear the modem working. But if I wait about 1 minute after I type in pppd, I get a dial-tone.
