The system:

- Linux kernel v2.2.5, Serial driver v4.27, ppp v2.3.3, kppp v1.6.3

- Caldera OpenLinux v2.2.N

- KDE v1.1

- Netcomm 56k internal modem. Model number IN5692, (PCI hardware type modem).

The problem:

The computer cannot talk to the modem. I open kppp and click on "connect" then the following message appears : "Sorry, the modem is busy".

The modem is not busy at all. It is not doing anything.

I know the modem is ok because it works fine under Windows 98, on the same computer. It's port under Windows is COM 3.
