I have been instructed to keep the LAN out of the picture till we can get the modem
working. So even if I knew how- I wouldn't be able to do it.

Is there a key-combination that will do it? It isn't taking ascii. I did read that
post.
But I don't know how to kill a process without command line. Reboot is the only thing I
know. I'm at roughly 60 hours of JUST trying to get the system to connect to other
networks. I didn't have a problem with 4.2 (did with eth0 but I didn't know about
MSDOS'ing the set-up then rebooting Linux).

I've tried all 4 ttyS's and it hasn't found the modem.
