Yast from what I can usee reconized modem and showed it at ttyS1, and it allowed me to configure settings and saved. What app. do I use after Yast has save settings, to start dialup. I setup and ran kppp and it said it was "Unable to open modem" , It also indicated that it " Unable to create modem lockfile", but I unchecked a box in kppp that said "lock file" and elimnated lock file error message. I also setup port ttyS1 in Kppp as modem port. I also fed it the command as SU: /usr/sbin/rcsetserial start /dev/modem /dev/ttyS1 irq 169 baud_base 115200 port 0xdc00 uart 16550A Below is the latest lspci for the modem. Where do I go from here?
I have been away from dial-up for several years and memory fails. I seem to recall prefering /usr/bin/wvdial for connections and minicom for tests. Perhaps someone here using dial-up can help. I do remember that when I first used dial-up on linux with MarmaDuke (??) 5.5 that I had no problems connecting, but I had an external serial port USRobotics. The above is slightly inaccurate. I did connect with linux (Slackware) which had to have the kernel compiled to install. I believe that it was prior to 1.0, something like 15 floppy disks downloaded over 1200 baud dial-up (or was it 600). Dos days before windoz. That 1200 baud modem was _fast_ compared to the accoustic connect 150 baud first modem on a C-64 running cp/m.
