Start with something simple, like make sure that you have a link in /dev/modem pointing to the right device such as ttySX where the X is either 0 for com1 or 1 for com2. IOW, do this as root: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem Then call up minicom and issue the simple command atz and see if your modem echos back OK. If it does then you have a connection to the modem and your script to dial is probably wrong, but you will need to give more info from your log files, i.e. /var/log/messages. >>>>> "i" == ivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: i> Hello everyone!!! i> I have tried to connect my RH5.0 i> in the Internet, but all the con- i> figurations that I improved failed. i> I tempted to configure in the control- i> panel, or thus using a script, or i> doing by hand, but it don't make. i> Finally, thinking that the problem i> could be with the modem, I tempted i> to dial using minicom, etc... but i> the modem don't make any noise. i> By the way, I can to use it to i> dial up in win95. i> Is this a problem with my modem i> (I don't know if it is Plug-and-play i> or no) ?
