Hi all people, I just have a Win-modem installed and it works fine in GNOME but fails in KDE The dev in GNOME is /dev/ttyS14. Unfortunately I could not find this dev/ttyS14 form modem in KDE Modem device in KDE is selected /dev/modem. Query modem OK However the connection started and terminated afterwards with a warning "Timeout expired while waiting for the PPP interface to come up!" (Remark: both pppd. Timeout and Modem Timeout edited in "180 seconds" Following trials have been made: kppp Configuration --> Device under Flow Control testing with "CRTSCTS" and "XON/XOFF under Line Termination testing with "CR" and "CR/LF) Under Account Setup --> Edit Account: XXXX Dial tag In Authentication- testing with "PAP" and "Script-based" PPP log shows ...... ppp[700]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 ...... ppp[700]: Terminating on signal 15 ...... ppp[700]: Exit In KDE there is no ppp tool provided by RH 6.2 in GNOME Any advice. Thanks in advance. Stephen -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
