[ale] Problems with a modem.

[John Cole]

Howdy all!

I'm delving into dial-up and modems and linux!  I've installed a more recent
version of Minicom than was on the server system before.
(minicom-2.1-1-rh7.3.i386.rpm instead of minicom-1.83.1-8.i386.rpm)  I have
a USR 33.6 external modem connected to Com1 /dev/ttyS0.  When I turn on the
modem it has AA and CD lights already on and Minicom immediately things I'm
online.  I try having Minicom hangup and also +++ ATH0 but it doesn't seem
to do anything.  Anyone have any ideas?

Btw, is there anything like the old "Modem Doctor" program for Linux instead
of DOS?

Thanks,
John Cole, TICSA
