- I am using Solaris 2.4 PPP to connect via a Zoom modem to my local ISP (Demon)
-
- It works fine, except it will dial whether there is a dial tone or not (upsets the wife!)
-
- So can someone give me a clue how to alter which /etc/uucp files or whatever, so the
- dial will wait (ideally) or abort if there is no initial dial tone present. (I understand
- the version of UUCP on Solaris 2.4 is BNU/HoneyDanBer)
- Thanx - David:)
