I'm able to set up a dialup entry using fc3's network device setup (from
the menu under System Tools, IIRC). The dialup setup knows that the
modem is on ttyS4 (just like in rh9). Activating gives none of the
normal dialup sounds, in fact, no sounds at all. A few seconds later it
responds with "Failed to activate {ppp0} with error 8". What is error
8? I haven't been able to find it yet.
Try either kermit or minicom to talk directly to the modem to make sure it
is actually talking to the modem, i.e. type in AT and get an OK back. If
you can't get that far then there is something wrong at an even more basic
level, like ttyS4 isn't really the device or the cable became disconnected.

/dev/ttyS4 *is* the device in rh9. (I just looked.) And that's what
fc3 jumps onto.
There is no cable. It's a card in the PC. It is the one I'm using
right now to send this email from rh9. So it's definitely *not*
disconnected.

"Permission denied." and "lock failed" are presumably due to the modem
currently being in use. I'll disconnect and try it again. If that
works, then I'll reboot over to fc3 (Xen is sounding really good right
about now.) and try it there. Then I'll come back to rh9 so I can
report. Wish me well.
