I'm not sure whether I'm defeating myself by working through KDE
when I set the device, in kppp, as /dev/tty01. I can query tty01
with terminal commands that elicit nothing from the modem. So, 
somewhere, the symbolic links are broken.

Most of the above is an interpretation based on setting up the dialer
program. How can I be more helpful in providing critical information?

I'm still looking for .ppprc. When found I will read and modify if
need-be. I'm getting tired and ineffective - so I'm off to bed. I
will take this up again in the morning.

Thank you much for the guidance. This seems to be helpful.

Best,

Bill
