ppp

I'm a new Debian user, it looks like a very good choice 4 me, every thing is stable, free and easy to use.

The problem is, I'm using my modem to establish a dial up connection to the internet (ppp) (a very old stupid way I'm forced to use for now), and using the KPPP application to do that, and nothing is working properly for me. it seems like it didn't recognize my modem or something.

I already tried to make a few stuff, and now i know my modem is on /dev/tty0, so i made a link for that on /dev/modem, and query the modem using KPPP and it responded with something like:

Ati :

Ati0:

Ati1:


...

...

Ati7:

with a textBox to fill up in front of each one of thees Atis, and now, when i press connect on kppp, it says modem ready, and that's it.

BTW, my modem is MDC AC'97
