Re: [newbie] 2.2 Kernel and kppp

[Jerry Davis]

Thank you for the reply. My mistake...my modem is linked to /dev/ttyS0, but still does not work. kppp starts, reports "modem ready", then hangs on "setting volume level". At no time is there any communication with the modem. Same in minicom. I read another message exactly the same as mine on dejanews, but no answer posted to it yet.

Modem is USR Sportster 56.6K External PNP...worked fine under kernel 2.0.37...any issues with PNP modems under 2.2 kernel?

    It's important that it be /dev/ttyS0 (or 1, or 2, etc.), not s0
(case sensitive, remember).
