[ale] Problems with a modem.

[jcole at filink.com (John Cole)]

Howdy all!

I'm delving into dial-up and modems and linux!  I've installed a more recent
version of Minicom than was on the server system before.
(minicom-2.1-1-rh7.3.i386.rpm instead of minicom-1.83.1-8.i386.rpm)  I have
a USR 33.6 external modem connected to Com1 /dev/ttyS0.  When I turn on the
modem it has AA and CD lights already on and Minicom immediately things I'm
online.  I try having Minicom hangup and also +++ ATH0 but it doesn't seem
to do anything.  Anyone have any ideas?

Btw, is there anything like the old "Modem Doctor" program for Linux instead
of DOS?

Thanks,
