I found this link: http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html as a hands onguide for modem config at the CLI. It also goes into the under-the-hood stuffas well.
Excellent link, I'm saving this to disk for future reference. Thanksagain for the help. Lots of good technical stuff to wade thru.Probably should be listed in the Links section for the users who willhave modem problems in the near future.
DO you think you can post this link up on the site?I'm glad I found it for everyone.
