debs,
my modem was working fine to dselect (with pon), but after i downloaded
and dpkg'd tons of files, i can no longer pon nor can i wvdial (which
gives the "cannot open /dev/tty2...imput/output error" message).
i installed a new modem, thinking the other was fried, but i still get
the same message.
does anyone have suggestions?
ia,t.
bentley taylor.
