A good question you ask there.. Why if its alledgly your modem does minicom and
windows work.. I went through this this last weekend, when I upgraded the
pppd (I usethe one that came with slackware 2.3).. The new pppd dropped my
connect, so I had to get an older copy to put in its place.. Dont know what
is wrong with the new one, but I do know that it drops my connects, so I
dont use it..
My suggestion to you is to use an older one.. I got mine off a sunsite
mirror somewhere..
the one with slackware 2.3 works..
