PPP finally decided to log an error message.
"Modem does not support CD."

I assume that means Carrier Detect isn't working and PPP
has been trying to set up the session with lqr.

This would have been a good thing to know several weeks ago.
I would not have asked for help with a simple hardware problem.

Buying another modem is not on my list of solutions but I am
going to check the cable, a Belkin Gold DB9 DTE -> DB25 DCE.

I do recall there are/were some problems with DB9 -> DB25 and
not enough pins for everything to work according to standard
but, of course, it has worked flawlessly for years with Windows.

I may just wait until I get a ADSL and try PPPoE. That will be fun.

Thank you ALL for your time and assistance,

-3p
