glug: modem alcatel manta usb

[Filippo Santovito]

Ciao ragazzi,
ho installato una slack 9.1 sul pc di un mio amico che vuole entrare nel mondo 
di linux... In realtà lui usava gia mdk ma voleva qlcs di piu serio 
altrimenti non gli avrei messo slack....
Abbiamo un problema grande col suo modem che è il famigerato alcatel usb; per 
configurarlo mi sono basato su questo howto:  
http://makeashorterlink.com/?W20623D96

dopo il comando:
#modem_run -v 2 -m -f  /bin/mgmt.o
in var/log/message trovo:

Nov 22 18:08:32 darkstar modem_run[1156]: ADSL line is up (832 kbit/s down |

il che mi fa supporre che il modem è visto e il firmware correttamente 
uploadato e che la comunicazione via usb funziona....

ma quando do:
#pppd call adsl

In compenso aumentano i processi di sistema...
