Change state on all BB ports to "off" (if you put the cursor on the first entry, you can do:) :.,.+15s/on$/off/ Write the file, control-Z, kill -HUP 1, fg, undo, write and exit, kill -HUP 1 If it suddenly starts working, you are having the same interrupt problem I am. :-/ It has nothing to do with the modems. ...
