When Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven wrote, I replied: Try the command
man minicom to learn about the minicom program for manipulating your modem. I don't have personal experience with it, (when I need to do these things, I write a perl script or something to gain access to the port/modem) but I've seen messages to this list which have been enthusiastic about minicom. Hope this helps. Thanks, but I have installed the linux base only (from floppy disks) and I don't think man and minicom are part of the base. I would like to install other packages via ftp, but I have to configure the modem first. So could you please explain a different way to configure my modem. TIA, Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven
