hi,
he's using redhat 6.1 and it can't be permission problems since he was doing
everything as root. you're right that everyone should say what distro their
using, i'm sorry but i keep on forgetting that not everyone is using redhat.
:o)

I guess it isn't a winmodem since minicom seems to get along it fine.
What about permissions problem?
Since he is having problems, perhaps trying command line tools is a better
approach? I would also try to consult the PPP-HOWTO.
Just out of curiosity: what distro is your friend using?
BTW: I think that everybody who post technical difficulties to the list
should
mention the disrto in question. Perhaps this is a step towards Maddog linux
standardization?
