I've tried minicom and got absolutely nowhere... no response at all..

I'm flummoxed right now.. what I really need to do is narrow it down a bit, as
it now seems that the problem is more to do with talking to the modem device
than configuring minicom, ppp, etc..

To answer a couple of previous suggestions, I can see device "/dev/modem" in
the control-panel ppp setup and I've got my ppp link named as ppp0 now, rather
than ppp1.

FYextraI, it's a BocaModem FDVSP34J from the labels, it's on COM1, intr 3,
address 0x2F8, and Win95 says it has a NS16550A UART amongst other information.

Any help in narrowing this down would be much appreciated as always...

Cheers ----  Ben
