Hi,

I'm able to configure my modem. The following is what I did.
1. rp3-config to configure my modem sucessfully
2. ln -sf /dev/ttyS3 /dev/modem  according to the result from rp3-config

3 minicom  which allow me to connect to BOL by doing Ctrl-A D.

But the problem is, although I can connect to BOL, I can only use the
network inside that terminal such as telnet and I cannot use browser at
all. Do I need to do something else to configure the browser(netscape)
in order to browse the internet?

Also, although I use Ctrl-A H to hang up and the connection was able to
be dropped, when I use minicom again, the error msg says that /dev/modem
is locked.

Thanks a lot.
