[lug] pppd w/ external model

[Mike Sweeney]

   I attached an external "28,800 FAX" modem to my Compaq Presario, believing the internal modem to be windows-only (?) 

  By changing the pppd parameter to /dev/ttyS0, I made the light on the external modem come on, and I didn't get that "config script failed" message for a change, but it just hangs at that point. I tried changing the speed parameter to 28800. pppd says "28800 not supported".
  Maybe I need an external 57600  modem or 38400, since pppd doesn't seem to support any other speeds ?
