I've seen at least two answers to this question in response to your
previous posts. Have you tried typing ``AT'' ?

And I've already mentioned that you need ``~?'' not just ``?''.

domain mydomain
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver y.y.y.y
x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y should be supplied by your ISP.
If you've got a static IP number, you'll have been given your
hostname by your ISP. If not, pick something that's not likely to
conflict with the rest of the world - say ending with .ln.

As I've asked in the past, are your sure your serial port is being
recognised ? Have you tried ``dmesg | fgrep sio'' ?
