Re: [expert] Modem problem

[Tony McGee]

Make sure there is a /dev/modem symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 if your modem is
on COM1 or /dev/ttyS1 if your modem is on COM2. I believe kppp uses
/dev/modem by default and straight after installation of 7.1 there is no
link.

If there is no /dev/modem link then create it by running 'ln -s SERIALDEVICE
/dev/modem' at a root prompt where SERIALDEVICE is either of the ttyS
devices explained above.
