Hi all,

I finally solved my comms problem with SuSE Linux - by changing my 
modem! I previously establish a connection but was not getting any
data throughput from the serial device so I never got to a login 
prompt. Changing from the Us Robotics Sportster 56kbps to my old 
trusty Reveal 28.8kbps solved the problem. I can now use minicom. 
Also wvdial works a treat. So what's going on here? Does SuSE not
support the world's number one modem?

On another note, I can't get ezppp to work for one reason: when the 
connection is answered you need to send a cr to get a login prompt
from the host. Ezppp (unlike wvdial) does not appear to send one 
automatically. How do I set this up in the script. I have tried
'Send \n' but that doesen't work. Any ideas?
 
Thanks.
