i
crashed it.. trying to install ...thanks for the link..
i went to the site and tried what they suggested.. (almost) i had some type o's
in my /etc/devfsd.conf file.. so it crashed my machine.. i do not have a rescue
disc and my friend has my copy of MD 8.1.. fail safe will not even boot.. and
when it allows me in as root to repair things.. the fs is read only. i cannot
restore the file from my back up.. any id's?
thanxs..

Hi,
Once again, this is exactly the same response that I
would get. In order to
get a functioning modem there is a setup to
follow....
This fellow from the Linmodem mailing list solved the problem
for me and many
others.
Apparently, it has something to do with the
devfs (file system) and some
drivers. Anyway, go here.
