Re: cu

["Jeff Dean" <jdean@sctcorp.com>]

The command should just be:

  cu -l /dev/modem (that's a "dash-ell")

with the exit command:

  ~. (that's a "tilde-dot")

     Hello,

     Probably silly question, but has the machine been rebooted
since
you commited this "sin"? If not, maybe there is still a pppd
deamon wandering
about, locking the modem? (just kill -9 it, if it is the case,
and hopefully
it will work).
     If not, I'd suggest trying the package "minicom" to test the
modem,
it is basically a Telix-clone, and you should be able to talk
directly to the
modem (ATZ, etc.).

     Good luck!

-Christian
