Thanks for the input but it did work. I still get a modem busy error
message from kppp and wvdial is unable to initialize the modem.
/dev/modem is not a valid link and /dev/ttys0 - /dev/ttys3 always
result in the same busy modem error message in kppp.
Originally ls -l /dev/ttyS0 returned:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Oct
4 09:31 /dev/ttyS0
I changed ls -l /dev/ttyS0 to:
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4, 64 Oct
4 09:31 /dev/ttyS0
This didn't help either. Any Ideas?
