Looks like pppd is trying to dialup ... again. And is your cell phone /
modem really on ttyS1? Is minicom connecting to ttyS1? The default for
minicom is ttyS0.
I have sympathy for you because just went through a similar experience
about two hours ago. I was entering ttyS3 and the modem was on ttyS4.
You might consider using Linuxconf. It is the best admin and
configuration tool I've ever used. (Since I like someone else said in
another PLUG thread have 20 years experience with Linux. :-) Seriously I
had to use IBM's GUI for their RS 6000 AIX machines. That was a joy ...
not!
