Hi,
I have just been able to connect to my isp thanks to your helpful
suggestions. I am on a compaq 486 with an original modem 14400. I added
a 56k modem some time ago and have been using it for internet connections
with win95. With Linux I can only get a connection with the 14400. The
14400 is on com2 .....the 56k on com4. i've used control panel in linux
xwindows to set the /dev/modem to cua3 for the 56k and used minicom -s to
set speed; after saving configuration as df1 and exiting, the screen shows
'initializing modem' and then hangs like it can't find the modem. ican
change back to 14400 modem and reset /dev/modem to cua1, change speed and
everything works fine. Obviously I would like to use the faster modem.
Any ideas on how to get the fast modem as the default.
Oh the linux details: redhat 5.1....ppp2.3.3-4.............. kernel
2.0.34.
ALSO one other short ? ---any reason why I shouldn't delete some of the
/var/log/messages ?
Thanks
Mike McManus
