module compiled and installed but can't get any farther.
Which usb to serial adapter did you buy? I want to buy one to hook up a
fax modem. I heard that there are problems with linux for these
adaptors. I hope it is false.
Good fax modems are still the ones with serial ports.

Actually, the one I have is a DYNEX. But after some diddling I found my
problem, I wasn't aware until borrowing my boss Ubuntu system that the
DYNEX USB2Serial cable uses the pl2303 driver. I was trying to use the
generic driver. Once I compiled the pl2303 driver it works perfectly.
