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.
