Problems with conncting to ISP

I am running QNX RTP v.6.0 on a stand alone computer - no network. When
trying to connect to my ISP using dial-up I have two problems.

  1. Dialer cannot find my modem until I issue terminal command
    “/sbin/devc-ser8250 -u1 3f8,4” .Then the modem dials correctly but when I
    boot QNX next time I have to issue this command again. I tried to put this
    command into the file “rc.local” in the directory “/etc/rc.d” as I was
    advised but it has no effect.
  2. When the modem successfully dials and connects to my ISP the dialer
    terminal shows the message “Remote response: Authentication failed”. I tried
    interactive mode. Then after connecting and entering login and password a
    get the message " PPP session from (216.228.2.203) to 216.228.4.124
    beginning" then a stream of bytes and NO Carrier. Looks like TCP/IP is not
    responding.
    I am regularly connecting to my ISP using Windows98 on the same machine
    an use the same dial-up setting and TCP/IP setting. My ISP server
    automatically assigns IP address. In the QNX dialer setting under Network
    tab I have Hostname: localhost, Domain Name:redshift.com (my ISP). Routing
    entries are blank since both remove and add buttons are grayed. DNS entries
    are as issued by my ISP although nothing changes if I leave them blank.
    I seem to have exhausted all attempts I could think of. Please, help!

Did you also chmod the file to allow execution?
