I loged in as root and went to usr/local/ect and
ect is empty. I did have show hidden files checked. I
read the errata and I doubt it applies in this case
because I don't have a ethernet card.
And it gets strainger yet last night I messed with
it
a while trying to get the modem working.
I looked again at any and all modem settings and
could not find a thing that looked like it might
help.
In desperation I changed from /dev/tty/S0 to other
settings several times and finally set it back to
what
seemed to make sense /dev/tty/S0 Then I uninstalled
and reinstalled the modem and the modem came to
life, well kind of, well almost . when trying to dial
up the modem is found but it gets to initalizing
modem
and just stops I can now querry the modem but all the
results come back blank. I don't have a manual on
this
old modem but I checked all the dip switches to make
shure that they were set the same as on my other
machine with the same type modem on /dev/tty/S0.
I am still stumped but I guess this does look kind
of
like progress.
