/dev/modem is usually just a symbolic link to the device file for whatever serial port your modem lives on. The cua* can be created with the /dev/MAKEDEV program. However you might just use /dev/ttyS* instead since they're already there. So, for example, if your modem is on COM2 under Mess-DOS then you would do something like (as root) ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem to create the /dev/modem link. l8r, Nate --- Nathan C.
