I just finished installing Gnome, which was pretty tough but I think worth it. Around the same time I ran sndconfig and got my soundcard recognized. Now, the problem is, when I run gnome and use the gnome PPP tool to connect to an ISP I get an error saying my modem is not responding. I am wondering if this is a conflict with some initializations going on in gnome or is it an issue with a hardware conflict in the soundcard? Here are the steps: I boot the computer (HP Omnibook) and log on as root. If I run minicom then, the modem initializes and I can type ATZ ->OK ATDT###### and they work fine. Now I run startx, gnome and enlightenment runs and I try to connect using gnomePPP and get (I'm not sure exactly) "a modem is not responding" or "Initialization Prolem" error and some locking of the PPP app. Now I leave X and run minicom again and this time the modem init string is really slow and ATZ takes a long time to get an OK All the while any of the system sounds (.wav) files do not work in gnome. Thanks for any thoughts, Michael Stearne
