5-3 Modem general setting

In "Advance" setting you can select and configure Busy Wait, Modem volume. Activate "Use Lock File" option if you want PoseidonPPP to create a lockfile. Under Linux the folder for such a file will be /var/lock. Programs such as mgetty depend on the existence of such lock files, and PoseidonPPP will not work with mgetty if the lock file is not set. Make sure that you don't use the option lock for pppd if you want PoseidonPPP to lock the modem, since the pppd option lock will induce pppd to try to lock the modem device. Since PoseidonPPP will have already locked the device, pppd will fail, and PoseidonPPP will display the error pppd died unexpectedly. Pushing "Modem Commands" you can fill in any particular commands appropriate for your modem. Pushing "Query Modem" button will make PoseidonPPP ask your modem to identify itself. Pushing the Terminal button will bring up a mini terminal. You can use the mini terminal to test your modem.
