THat's the fix; I found this last night after browsing the modemlights source (!) - something I really shouldn't have to do to get something working (it was using the modem lock but wanted ttyS0 - I'd expected modem to work as I have a /dev/modem, but it's only a symlink).I saw this behaviour when I did not have the "LOCK" set properly in the preferences configuration as Pavel suggested in his first email. Are you sure that you have the correct "/var/lock/LCK...ttySX" set and that the "verify owner" is checked?
Seems OK now.
?! The third tab being the "Advanced" one of "modemlights"? That's the lock one. There shouldn't be anything there except the absolute path to the lock file.It has a device ref. - from the source, it's the one used by the ioctl that gets PPP stats. Im my case, the ifup/down ppp3 [the right ISP] with a device of ppp0 [the actual i/f] works now.
Does seem a shame that RH deliver a nice Internet connection wizard for newbies [not that I am, but you know what I mean], then leave them with no obvious way to dial up.
