Hi all,

I posted the following message on the newsgroups but didn't get any
helpful hints. I was told there may be a reference to the modem in
/var/lock, but I couldn't find any. I will appreciate your suggestions. I
have SuSE 6.1 and internal US Robatics V90 56K modem.

Hi all, I had a crash a few days ago and since then I can not get
connected. Now when I start wudial, it tells me that /dev/ttyS3 (which
has always been my modem device) is busy. If I start the ezppp in the
debug mode, it tells me there is no dial tone.  The modem starts to do
something, but it will not make the dialing  sound. When I pick up the
phone, there IS a dial tone. Considering that the phone line goes from
jack to modem and then from modem to phone, I am not sure that my modem
is really dead. But I don't know anything about hardware. Does this sound
like a hardware problem or could it be a software problem? If the latter,
how can I fix it?

Many thanks,
Ramin Sina
