If you are using a PCI modem, then it is almost guaranteed that your device will be something like ttyS4. To find out what you should use in /dev/MAKEDEV, just dmesg | grep tty or whatever happens to bring up the relevant lines about your modem. Should it say something like ttyS05, then you should MAKEDEV ttyS5. In my case, I saw ttyS04, so I think [it has been a while] I ran "/dev/MAKEDEV /dev/ttyS4" and it created the device properly and the modem responded. The thing that confused me back then was that I thought the modem device was already created, since I already had ttyS0-3, but I didn't realize that I had to make another device for ttyS04 that the dmesg reported. I hope this helps. Aaron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
