Thanks taking the time to respond.

1. cu -l cuaa0 
says "connected". Then when I type "ATDTE1Q0", I am expecting "OK".
Nothing happens. When I quit out with ~. it takes a minute to disconnect. 
Yet another person aksed me disable PnP (plug and Play) option. I do not 
know how-to. I'll give it a try. It is an internal modem and it is hard 
to diagnose without any lights. I also tried cu -x9 -l cuaa0. Did not 
help since there is no response from the modem. It is an MWave 28.8 
Internal modem.

2. On fvwm, I am little confused. I start xdm as explained in the book 
(via init - ttys. Ofcourse I cannot use because a wm is already running.
If I do startx, then whole bunch of X sessions start but I am unable to 
bring up fvwm. Any way I should read the man pages.

That's all.
