Hi Roy,
Same basic configuration as me. Before we try anything more complicated, you
should go into the kppp , setup tab. In there, under 'device' you should try
the /dev/tty0 or /dev/tty1 .
Also, I have flow control set to xon/xoff. Under the 'modem' tab, there is a
'query' button. You could give that a try and see if your modem is responding
at all.
I'm sure you're very close.
Regards,
Bill W.
