    What happens if you don't enter the dev parameter at all?

    When I do (using ALSA), I see:

        SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9 Jul 30 2004 21:39:49symbolic link
        `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/3' created.
        modem `hw:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/3'
        Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

    Then I start minicom, alsready configured to use /dev/ttySL0 with 115200
    8N1. Whe minicom starts, it initializes the modem (but you can do so
    yourself in minicom with "<crtl>-a m"). The minicom window opens and
    reports:

        Welcome to minicom 2.00.0

        OPTIONS: History Buffer, F-key Macros, Search History Buffer, I18n
        Compiled on Feb 17 2004, 04:52:10.

        Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys

        AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0
        OK

    Getting that far indicates that the modem is operational. You can test
    the dialing by entering AT commands in the minicom window:

        ATDT9,555-4321

    If the modem dials and connects at this point, then you should be able to
    do it again with kppp (if that is configured correctly).
