if u are dialing using script based method, check the script. also check
what is happening by opening the log window - to check whether the script
is running as desired. if not, try terminal based dialing where u will
have to manually give your loginname and password.

if u want to use minicom to dial, after the gibberish starts, exit minicom
without resetting the modem (Alt-q). then, as root run pppd. now netscape
should work properly.

no. u can also use a script to connect. copy the following to a file and
name it vsnl or something. then make it executable using 'chmod +x vsnl'.
then run it using './vsnl'. u should get connected.
