Ok rite here... tcgetattr:I/0 error means that you have your modem pointed to the
wrong address
You can look at your ppp scripts to see what its says re:modem
/dev/modem is probably not good
you need /dev/ttyS? the ? ca be 0 1 2
you can try changing those by hand or use WvDial to detect the modem for you It will
probe and find the corretc ttyS?
then you can correct your script
you can get to wvdials site from here
Bookmarks http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm
if you use wvdial get the source, install gpp from yast under development, read the
readme and your all set ;-) Wvdial is *nice*
