Very Computer

Hi,

    I have got linux and X running on my PC but am unable to use my
modem whenever linux is running. I am using dip/slip that comes with
the current slackware distribution for a Telepath II fax/modem V.34,
14.4Kbps.

    When I run the dip script to connect to a dynamic slip server the
modem hangs on the 'dial' command (errlvl = -1). I don't hear the
dialing tones nor the connection hiss that should follow it.

    I have considered the following causes:

    1. Modem doesn't work: WRONG (When I boot using DOS or PC SLIP it
       works alright and connects to the server).

    2. Kernel not correctly configured: DUNNO (I have 'make config'-ed
       and as far as I know I have answered all questions correctly).

    3. Boot time messages: DUNNO (I can see messages that say
       SLIP/PPP/CSLIP have been enabled within the kernel but I don't
       see any "UART..." messages at boot time).

    4. Getty running on tty. WRONG (I checked my /etc/inittab and
       couldn't find any getty running on that tty).

    5. ???

    Could any of you suggest what could possibly be wrong? I have
inserted the transcript of my session and my dip script along with
this posting.

    I'd be deeply grateful if anyone can provide a solution to my
problem.

    Thanks!

\PS Is there any test program to check the modem.
