Hi,
Can anyone suggest what my modem is doing. After the power cuts caused by
lightning last week my modem can't be opened by kppp from any user account.

However it goes ok from root. I have checked to see if anything has changed in
/etc/groups and nothing has.

I can't really see how config files could be altered anyway. As the modem is
working fine I presume it is undamaged, so it should be only something to  do
with permissions?

It's a Knoppix3.3 install which has worked well for over a year now. 5 year old
Dynalink hardware modem.

Cheers

Jim
