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