modem question

[Phat_Newb]

Can anyone tell me how to edit the following properties for my mode.

1.Disable search for dialtone.

2.Change the connecting speed of my modem.
its connecting at 115200(think so) for a 56k one.

thnx in advance

What distro are you using? What type of modem? With mine this is controlled by a dialer script, mine is /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer. You'd have to edit the string < 'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 > and add the AT command for your modem to turn off the dialing. The speed is controlled by the command given to pppd to start the connection, for me this is in /etc/ppp/ppp-on look for something like /dev/ttyS2 38400, the 38400 is the speed....
