need help

["Justin Miller" <safetypin@xxxxxxx>]

Alright, howdy.
I edit /ect/ppp/options and it now looks like this:

lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
modem
/dev/cua0
57600
crtscts
debug

and I also edited /etc/resolv.conf so it now looks like this:

domain dmci.net
search dmci.net
nameserver 198.109.130.33
nameserver 198.252.194.121


Okay, the weird happens when I use minicom to dial my isp.  I dial the
number of my isp and connect. I put in the right user name and password then
I get the following message:

PPP session from (my isp) to <my IP> beginning....~ÿ}#.!}!}!} }4~

It then stops there. Then after maybe 30 seconds the modem hangs up and it
displays

NO CARRIER

or

A  couple of times the text kept coming after a couple of seconds. Then I
would press Alt-Q, to shutdown without reseting the modem. Then I tried
"ping dmci.net" to see if I was actually connected or not and it said it
couldn't find dmci.net. Then maybe a minute later the modem hangs itself up.

What am I doing wrong?
