My question is about getting Fedora 15 to recognize a hardware modem and then setting up ppp "on demand" to use it. I made the mistake of installing Fedora 15 with the GUI. This only told me that my modem was "unplugged." And I could not figure out how to drop out of the GUI to a command line terminal. So I overwrote the installation with "minimal." Now I get a command line prompt (in teeny tiny font). However I could not find anything helpful (to me) in /dev or /etc/ppp. I have googled many combinations, but so far all the queries about modems I have read are about getting winmodems to work. I do not have a winmodem. I have a 3COM PCI (internal) hardware modem which works flawlessly with FreeBSD sio (that's the serial io device). If I can find out how to configure a dialer and authentication, I would like for ppp "on demand" to work for my only non-root user, which will be me. Otherwise, I just got a nine piece coaster set for $30 from OSdisc.com.
