Help! /dev/modem is usually a soft link for example my modem is on the 3rd port - COM3 in msdos/win ln -s /dev/cua2 /dev/modem creates the soft link if you switch your modem to the next port: rm /dev/modem ln -s /dev/cua3 /dev/modem and various packages configured for /dev/modem continue to work as expected.
