Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven: > I found some additional information about the cable modem:
Ah, you have a cable modem... and if it's not really Hayes-compatible, you'll probably need to adjust the "chat script" that pon is using (most likely in /etc/chatscripts/ ). Once you get PPP up and running, that should solve the dselect problem. As for the connection from minicom, minicom doesn't set it up as a network. I think there *is* a way to hand it over from minicom to ppp, but I'm not sure how, because I've never tried it. I assume one would quit out of minicom using the `do not hang up' option, log in as root, and then do "pppd /dev/ttyS0" (or ttyS1). Somebody else actually tried it?
