which comm port is it on?? What you'll need to do is get to
a console prompt (in a console/Konsole window will work
fine) and then type ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem. Replace
"x" with the number of the comm port (i.e. Com1 is ttyS0,
com2 is ttyS1, etc.) and it should work. Also, make sure
you don't have a WinModem or HSP modem.
