[Thompson Freeman]

This is a wonderful list to get help, and to make the contacts to learn
even more. That said...

Question: How far along on getting ppp/internet connectivity going are
you? By hand (using minicom or another terminal program), can you control
the modem and at least make phone contact with another modem? Or are you
getting stuck getting the ppp link established with your isp (and then
what type of connection are you paying for?)? By way of background, also,
do you know where your log files are under Caldera so you can lookup the
results of trying to raise the link?

Welcome to the crowd.
