(If not, "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV all".) - Are the IRQs assigned correct? (Verify via dmesg, something like: "dmesg | grep -2i irq".) Also, search the lists archive for how to contact the modem via tip or kermit (i forgot), w/o involving ppp. If you can contact the modem, and successfully talk to the modem, via terminal, only then continue w/ solving the ppp problem. (Somebody else should fill in the process as i have forgotten it.) - Parv (no that's not a question, but sign off) --
