Do you need to read and write to the port to dial?

Yes, because modem is connected to serial port

I run it directly from eznet without these scripts.
I have a dial script which loads modules and then eznet up 0 or 1 or 2.

Then "chmod 4755" that script instead of ppp-on/ppp-off

I usually chmod +x all scripts. chmod 4755 changed it
from -rwxr-xr-x to -rwsr-xr-x.

Please explain what this accomplished.

I have not tried dialing yet after making your suggested changes (since I
am already dialed as root right now).

I do not know if I had to chmod 4755 my dial script in order to use eznet.

Could someone knowledgeable please figure out exactly what needs to be changed in BL3 to be able to dial and use Xvesa (which works for me but I don't recall what I changed) and rxvt (which is still not working, tho xterm is) and a standard X server (which still is not working for me).
And post the instructions for the rest of us and/or a script to run.

I did have to chmod 777 /dev/ttyS1 which made it crwxrwxrwx - does it need to be x and if not, how to change that back to -?

Now I could dial as user.

But when I tried to ssh 'host key verification failed'.
As root, I copied over the contents of /root/.ssh to /home/user/.ssh and now:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey, password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased).

ls -l ssh -rwx--x--x 1 root root
Should I also chmod 777 ssh to make ssh rw for user? For any program I want user to access?

telnet works and is
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root

links and lynx work as user, and opera works if I go into X as user not root. So does abiword. So I can set up linux with internet and wordprocessor for total strangers and hope they can manage to print with printcap set to deskjet (using an HP 500 or 600 or 800 series printer).
With mtools if they need to print at the neighbor's house instead.

The person who wanted the computer wondered why it would cost $4/month to access the internet. She will phone with more questions.

I will try printing from Abiword as user.

Why can't root print????

ls -l lpr -r-s--s--x
Should this be all x's not s's?
