minicom...

     Hi
     
     My file system is falling apart due, I believe, to hard drive issues.  
     So I ran e2fsck and made my system (to my surprize) even more unhappy.
     
     It still runs, but it's frozen a few times recently, which causes a 
     hard reboot... very bad for the file system.
     
     Here's the thing.  My modem was working great with minicom.  Now, when 
     I start minicom theres nothing happening.  The minicom screen comes up 
     and I can TRY to dial out, but the modem wont connect.  The cursor 
     kinda just sits there and does nothing.  No connection.  I can't even 
     type in ATDT or any basic 'are you there Mr. modem?' stuff.
     
     I've been looking for lock files or some such thing that might have 
     been left behind after a freeze up, but I can't find anything.  The 
     only lock files I find are while minicom is running.  Is there 
     something else going on here?  Has any one had this kind of problem?  
     I'd search the news groups, but I CAN'T get to them with out my modem.
     
     This really stinks!
     
     help...
