Fluxbox question

[r3b00+]

Ive just installed Fluxbox so im a real n00b to this window manager.
I need to know how to access the modem configuration in Fluxbox. This isnt apparent from the menu i get on the desktop so if anyone can advise it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

check out a package called fluxconf, it was a huge help when i installed flux. :

well, if you use kppp, and have kde installed, or anything like that you can still access it via a shell. Just open a shell and type the command you normally would to open your modem config... just do it all in a shell..

I dont have KDE installed so kppp is no good.

Ive tried the following command from a terminal

./pppd call ppp0

but it shows ATZ then goes back to a command line.

My /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 file is as follows

connect "usr/bin/wvdial --remotename ppp0 --chat 'Freeserve'"

and my /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial file

noauth
name wvdial

The wvdial.conf file contains all the correct settings ie. uname, passwd, isp tel no, device (ttyS0)

Ive also tried the following command

./pppd /dev/ttys0 connect "chat -V" ATZ OK ATMO OK ATDT1260 CONNECT ogin <login name> assword <password>" modem defaultroute crtscts -detach

but this just gives me a '>' prompt.

Im completely new to the pppd command as ive previously used a GUI to connect to the internet.

Anyone help me?

Cheers

i don't think any of these articles are to do with modem configuration, but it is all i can contribute here because i was more fortunate in that wvdial worked for me. though i wish it didn't so i would have learned what was going on properly. i'm sure i will get back to it eventaully.

Thanks for the links but they didnt help alot
I did a tail -f /var/log/messages on a seperate terminal and found the follwing results after typing ./pppd call ppp0 in the first terminal

pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41
Initialising modem
Sending: ATZ
Modem not responding
Connect script failed
Exit

Obviously the modem is working ok as im online now on my other OS.

Heres the contents of /etc/wvdial.conf

[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyS0
Baud=115200
SetVolume=1
DialCommand=ATDT
Init1=ATZ
FlowControl=CRTSCTS
[Dialer Freeserve]
Phone=***
Password=***
UserName=***
Stupid Mode=1
Inherits=Modem0
