Using Debian Etch, Acer 3614WLCi laptop Maestro Woomera modem through a USB to RS232 cable.
The modem is connected to the ISP but the system has dropped off the modem connection. The modem shows it's connected and yet the laptop isn't connected to it. I try to run "pon" again. Nothing. I try "poff" It tells me there is no connection running. I manually switch off the modem, switch it on again, the modem tells me it's intelligent. I type "pon" into a terminal, and the modem says dialling, and does so and connects again. The lappy picks it up, and is again connected. Something to do with PPP in Etch? Would appreciate any help.
