You have to use rawrite. Don't simply try to copy the file to the diskette.

I can't explain you that in great details, since I did not do such a thing.

I guess I am only repeating what I have said before, but it realy odd.
Have you tried to dump the configurations and user profiles of the modems
(ATV with my modem) ?
The modem settings are identical. The modem firmware revisions are
identical. The mgetty configuration lines are the same.
Why not just add -R to the gpm configuration and use /dev/gpmdata and
MouseSystems in XF86Config; then you can have both.
Doesn't the gpm man page says that what you are suggesting doesn't apply to
serial mice ?

GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the same thing as UTC (Universal
Coordinated Time--UTC is actually the acronym as it is in French). So
the term GMT is obsolete but the meaning is unchanged.

If your modem is not plug play and you have luck, you probably don't have to
configure the modem at all, since it is done at boot.
You can try
setserial -g /dev/ttyS1
to see if it seems like your modem.
For my modem, also on COM 2, this gives:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port:
