Sorry to post here. but l.r.ppp won't accept, I have enough problems without trying to figure that out, can anyone tell me why I can't post there or help with the following: I have RH8.0 installed and reinstalled on a dual boot with Win98, this message is from Win98 because RH8.0 will not dial out or do anything with the modem. It is a hardware PCI USR modem which Linux seems to see on ttys4 = com5 which is what it runs on in windoze. I have configured ISP, etc. and it is connected, but nothing dials out. Any clues?
