Same modem problem .. :)

["Masgras George" <nelus xnet ro>]

Sorry I insist.... I still can't find a way to convince my modem to work
...
so: here's my problem:
I have a hard 14400 modem and RH 7.0 installed.
If i connect from bash, without starting X before, it's ok! everything
works, in text mode, ofcourse! if I'm connected and run X, the ppp0
interface is still up, but the network is down... no ping, no links
..nothing! ok ...so i disconnect the modem and try to connect again from X
.. kppp says: "sorry, your modem doesn't respond", wvdial says:"Cought
signal 2. Exiting". So.. I have to restart my computer for the modem to
work again!
 The second thing: If I try to connect directly from X, kppp says the same
thing:"Sorry, modem doesn't respond". Sometimes, whitout doing nothing
special, the modem works under X, too! Yup! Without changing
anything! It's very strange, I know, but that's tje truth!
 So, if anyone can help me, 'll always be graceful! Thanks in advance!
