Package: modemu
Version: 0.0.1-10
Severity: normal

Thanks for maintaining modemu as it has come in handy for me in some
weird, yet fun, situations.

Anyway, in the file /usr/share/doc/modemu/QuickStart

Please change the line from

   modemu -e "AT%B0=1%B1=1&W" -c "minicom -p tty%s"

To

   modemu -e "AT%B0=1%B1=1&W" -c "minicom -p %s"

Otherwise on a modern system running unstable you get an error like this

minicom: cannot open /dev/tty/dev/pts/5: Not a directory
Comm program exited.

You see, in the old days, %s would return only the pty number hence the 
need for a prefix like tty.  But now %s returns something like
/dev/pts/5, the full file name, which passes to minicom as tty/dev/pts/5 
whom reinterprets devices without a leading / as begining with /dev, 
resulting in /dev/tty/dev/pts/5 which just isn't going to work.

Not having a copy of "xc" I have no way to verify this, but I'm
guessing that /usr/share/doc/modemu/README also needs to change from

  > modemu -c "xc -l tty%s"

To

  > modemu -c "xc -l %s"

Anyway please have a pleasant day.
