[ILUG] Various

Unfortunately I got no responses to my fetchmail/sendmail query - never
the less I decided that perhaps the problems were being caused by using
SuSE with so many apps. probably conflicting with one another. In the
event I decided to re-install RedHat 5.2, hoping that I now had a little
more knowledge in setting up a dial up account.
Typing 'minicom' at the command line all I get is response 'device
/dev/modem locked'. Which script do I alter to overcome? I know the
modem works because it worked under SuSE.
I suppose the moral in this is that SuSE is dead easy for novices, and
chock full of apps. ( maybe a bad thing), like myself but I don't
actually like the look and feel of it and suppose that there is no
better feeling than having control over your machine rather than
vice-versa.
Would someone please give me a dig out here.
