I finally installed Slackware 10... I'm real happy with it!!
everything works just fine... runs fast... no complains so far!!

i'm posting because i don't know how to configure my modem...

/dev/ttyS0 -> /dev/modem ....
Creative Modem Blaster Serial Port!

i use gnome so, using modem lights will be perfect for me...
is there any tutorial (Step-by-Step) out there!?? i searched
this forum too many times but no success... i will appreciate
if someone in here guides me trough the process...

Thank You!

Almost getting there!??
any ideas on why is this not going!??

hi there,

did you try "pppsetup", as root. this is used to setup a modem in Slack.

egag

yes i did!

cool sig...! (like it!)

hi,

dunno the answer, but there are people who got all working with your modem.

this is on the HCL of this site : http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...hp?product=138

egag

There are some permission issues. To check if this is the case try ppp-on as root or su.

If this is the case I was involved with a thread about setting the permissions for modem lights as a user.

Search this site by author (shepper) and you should find it easily.

i'm using modem lights no more,
I have downloaded and installed GNOME PPP
and i did try as root....

any more ideas!??
