I cannot use the modem any way except as root.
I have to boot up, type isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf then when it does its
thing, (the exact same numbers and checksums as when it boots) I must
perform a 'shutdown -r now, and then when it reboots, I then have a
modem. I do not know why I must reboot. I get the exact report the
first time it boots.
The only way I can activate my ppp0 connection, is by using network
config and activating ppp0. Nothing else the book shows works. I only
have network config in root. I cannot access the internet any way other
than as root.
