Well, this is to be expected - remember that linux numbers serial ports from 0, whereas Dos numbers them from 1, so your modem is /dev/ttyS1 in Linux. (and therefore, setserial is indeed recognizing your modem just fine) Now, what do you have in your /etc/ppp.options_out file? Specifically, do you have (as is the default) '/dev/modem' in there? If so, then you should make certain that /dev/modem points to your modem (either that, or you can change the bit in /etc/ppp.options_out to say '/dev/ttyS1' instead - opinions differ as to which method is "correct") - you can make /dev/modem point to your modem by doing: ln -sf ttyS1 /dev/modem The see if you can get your modem to respond as it should. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
