Hi, I've installed v8. I have a dial-up modem, and I can establish a connection with wvdial as long as I'm logged in as root. If I try the same as a normal user, PPP fails with error code 3 or 19. I think taht it is a permission problem, but I'm noy sure how to proceed. Thanks. --Juan.

~ maybe, as root, give command : ls -la /dev/modem . . . perhaps ownership is root.root if so, then you could command chown root.users /dev/modem -- best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
Thanks for the help. I got everything working with the modem but now I want to know how to make it automatic when the system boots up. Should I modify a .cshrc or .profile file? The problem now is if I shut down I have to type all this stuff again on the command line to make the modem work again. Thanks, --Juan. On Wednesday 30 October 2002 09:59 pm, tabanna wrote:
