Hi all,
I have read in this ng of problem related to internet connection, but
none of them helped me since now. So I ask you just an advice on how
to resolve this (maybe) stupid problem.

Here some info:

* Linux Distro: Mandrake 9.2
* Modem: US Robotics (External Modem - it is not a win modem - it is
connected to COM2 that is ttyS1)

* /dev/modem point correctly to ttyS1

* Mandrake COntrol Center is not able to detectd the mnodem
HardDrake is not able to detect the modem

* kppp until yesterday told me that modem does not respond but now is
simply unable to give me any info since just tell me that is searching
for a modem (and it keep continue since hours!!!)

* minicom gives me OK when I send the command AT but no led of my
modem is flashing even for a nanosecond (only power led is costantly
visible)

Really I do not know what else I can do, please just an advice would
be very precious to me. Thanks a lot

Ciao Gab
