The Debian KDE list and other lists were compaining about muk for a while. Along with Microsoft. Back in the days of winduhs I used to use Pegasus Mail but when the Linux desktop came along I switched to Kmail. I've been fine with it since.

RE: [SLUG] Re email
Title: Message 1. Check that the modem is really plugged into Com2 (/dev/ttyS1) 2. What dial and init strings are you using ? It *may* be that you just need to mod these 3. What brand/model of modem ? Jon -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul MaloneySent: Tuesday, 27 May 2003 22:12To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [SLUG] Re email Hi all, It's the pest again, sorry for being such a pest, but I have tried everything that I know and have had no success connecting to internet. My ISP who is austarnet suggested that I check my modem drivers as this might be the problem. By using different mail programs I get different results. Also using harddrake it doesn't show my modem, so I am more confused. I don't even get dial tone like I do with windows. When I try to connect using kppp it informs me that it cannot find "/dev/ttyS0" and when I set it to /dev/ttyS1 it inform me that the modem is ready then it says sorry the modem does not respond. Any suggestions. Paul -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

RE: [SLUG] Re email
Paul If you know the model/make of your modem, try iiNet's modem support pages at http://www.iinet.com.au/support/modems/index.html They have a very comprehensive listing of initialisation strings. You will however need to enter the string specific to your modem into the proper config file (I'm an old wvdail user, not sure about kppp but it should be in the man page). There's also a good page on Hayes AT Commands (the 'standard' modem command set) at http://www.lisa.univ-paris12.fr/Electronik/Hayes.htm Minicom is a good idea, to test to see if the modem is responding at all... You can also echo commands directly to the com-port from within a terminal. # echo AT /dev/ttyS0 and look for the response. Good luck, and I hope it's not a winmodem cos they're nasty pieces of work...
