G3/300 and US Robotics Serial modem...

[bruce woller]

Nathan:

start a minicom session.  Make sure that your selected /dev/Sttyx is  
really the serial port you have your modem on.  Try a few AT commands,  
dial your isp and see if you connect.  (You may have already done this  
- I cannot tell from your posts).  If you can connect with a minicom  
terminal (i.e usermane: and passwd)  Then try ./pppup to see if ppp  
will talk to your isp.  Report back the results you get from minicom  
and perhaps someone here can help.

Just some things to try,
Bruce
