Now you can start kppp and see if it now talks to your modem (kppp does not work in V8.2 I discovered about 1/2 hour ago :-(, and I don't know why); make sure that the device used is /dev/modem. Check that the initialising string is as above.
Actually, kppp works great (my favorite). I did need to add: /usr/sbin/pppd root.dialout 4755 to my /etc/permissions.local file, as kppp required pppd to be suid root. Using 8.2, kde 3.1.4.
Aah, thanks for this. I will try it out and see if it has the same intended effect here - normally such things seem not to work here for some peculiar reasons :-). (A few minutes pass.....) <LOL> OK, my turn to get helped :-). (What did I just say above?) I've done what you said in permissions.local (and I am in the dialout group) but whenever I try to Query the Modem or even enter the Terminal mode kppp just freezes! And I have to use kill -9 xxxx (not just ordinary kill xxxx) to dead it :-). What is missing and that has to be done to get kppp to work? Give me a clue :-). BTW, I am also using kde 3.1.4.
