IT WORKS! I noticed that the modem returns NO CARRIER quite often in minicom. I removed abort on "NO CARRIER" from the chatscript and it works, using pon. Thanks Jiri, and thanks to all other people who helped solving my problem through this list. I hope this is the last e-mail I send using m$-windows. 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?
