Subject: Modem Busy
Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 20:09:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <380-2200611161931620@M2W103.mail2web.com> (raw)

Hi,

My broadband Internet base station broke down. Therefore, I have to use the 
modem dial-up for Internet connection until the station is fixed.

Now in slackware 10.2 using kppp when trying to connect or when querying
the 
modem it shows "modem busy" and I cannot make a connection consequently.

Before I got the BB connection I always used kppp to dial-up w/o any
problems. 
All the same settings except it was slack 10.1.

I switch now to my Fedora box and can make a connection with the dial-up
modem 
easily.

I just found that minicom will not go onlione as well.

Why would kppp claim that the modem is busy and how can I correct this? The 
lights on the modem do not show anything that it is busy.

Thanks & regards

Peter
