I do have a Lucent chipset. I ran lsmod and didn't see anything called lt_serial or anything else that looked like a modem. I've got to get this file back! Any ideas? - Grant __ Do you Yahoo!?

Grant wrote: Hello! I had my win modem working with penggy to dial up to AOL, but every time I restarted the computer I had to: rm /dev/modem because there was a different symlink in there, and then: ln -s /dev/modem /dev/tts/LT0 This worked great for a while, but yesterday things were acting strange and now I've got these symlinks: /dev/modem -> /dev/tts/LT0 /dev/tts/LT0 -> /dev/modem There doesn't seem to be a normal LT0 file in /dev/tts anymore, just the symlink. There is a weird "0" in the file listing that wasn't there before too. Does anyone know how I can get my /dev/tts/LT0 file back? - Grant To get it back, try: rm /dev/tts/LTO rm /dev/modem modprobe lt_serial ln -s /dev/modem /dev/tts/LT0 As for the origional problem, I think it is the device file system settings that are causing this problem. I have not played with it enough to tell you how to fix it. I have just about the same setup on my Thinkpad, but I am not in Linux right now, so I will try and send more information later.

Re: [newbie] dev file question
I'm sorry to post about this again, but I'm really confused with this and have no idea what to do. Should I try reinstalling the winmodem? - Grant --- Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello!
