Ok, I set up everything for my internet connection. Perfect. But now...the
modem won't initialize.
When I try to use wvdial, it spits out:
-->Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Input/output error
Not very helpful at first...but then with minicom, when I press M (to
initialize modem), it says "You are online." Woah. Ok, so then I choose
H, for hangup. It hangs up the line, but then it immediately opens it
again. In the lower righthand corner, where it -should- say "Offline"
there's a timer, which says "Online 00:00", and stays like that.
So what's going on, and how do I fix it?
