I have had problems getting my modem setup on my Linux machine.  Is there anyway I could test if it is working
properly or not.  I try to connect  to my ISP and once
the pppd daemon starts it dies with an tcgetattr I/O error.

I have an internal Mwave modem (which is crap, and useless
for Linux), but I am using a USR Sportster 1440 Vbis external modem.  Could it be a conflict in ports or addresses?

Should I use minicom or kermit to test my connection?
