i'm having trouble accessing my modem in linux.  from the command line i have
yet to be able to get dip to dial the modem.  calling seyon from an xterm
results in a responce the modem can either not be found or is hung but if i
sellect seyon from the menue it starts up just fine.  i don't yet know if the
seyon that does start up will dial since i currently have no mouse configured
into my kernel and i haven't figured a way to operate seyon by keyboard only. 
i can't reconfigure my kernel until i can connect online to download the kernel
source.  i'm using MCA patched slackware kernel 2.0.29 on an IBM PS/2 with a
hayes externel modem.
