Dear grml friends,
Sorry for the urgent need, but I am writing this from my libranet partition as ppp vua slmodem driver does not function for me - there is one place I travel often with only dial-up(! - really - in the USA in 2006) and the command from kppp modem query on either /dev/modem or /dev/sl0 gives the answer for country "austria", thus creating the situation where kppp does not recognise the dial tone. I truly miss Austria, and shall someday return, but in th meantime, this should not happen, and I need to know why this happens, where the conf file is and what I can do to get a dial-up connexion working.
I am sorry for the haste, and sorrier for my ignorance, but this should not be an issue, unless the modem driver or alsa modem conf file is reading my wishful thinking as to where I want to be. ;)
Best, Martin
