I've thrown together a page of links to different PPP/PAP resources,
including also examples of the files needed in /etc/ppp.  The URL is

You do need to configure /etc/ttys to make tty00 a dialout modem.  Again,
I refer you to my resource page and my example ttys.

If your modem is not responding at all, then the problem may by in
/etc/ttys or on the ppp-up script.  I don't have experience with any
variety of modems other than my own, so I'm not the one to make
suggestions there.

Keep trying, however.  I wasn't sure I'd ever get my configuration
correct, but eventually I did.  Good luck,
