I sent this message out about a month ago and never got a response.  I
figure it's worth another shot.

everything was working fine, then i opened a webpage that was apparently
quite a resource hog (i watched it eat /all/ of my available ram).  my
system hung, and i was forced to power off.  now, when i fire up
gnome-ppp, pppd dies with the following message in my log file:

Nov  6 21:11:26 calypso pppd[1084]: Failed to open /dev/modem:
Permission denied

here's the ls on /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS2:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           10 Nov  6 21:04 /dev/modem ->
/dev/ttyS2
crwSr-Sr--   1 root     tty        4,  66 Nov  6 21:12 /dev/ttyS2

what do i need to do to allow me to again gain access to /dev/modem
without su root?

thanks!
