Been configuring the modem on my Mandrake box. Perhaps similar enough config. to help. 1. Check if ppp|kppp is already running. Try ps or ps|grep variant to determine. Try kill off running process if found. 2. Perhaps your modem was moved to a different ttyS device. Check /dev/modem link to see which ttySx it points to. Then use minicom to try connect to various ttyS's starting from 0 up. Change link to point to ttyS minicom finds modem on.
