I made a mistake I would have sworn that the devices listed by lspci were TTYS?: Here is ttyS? list from lspci: Attached: > Perhaps earlier in your attempts to get the modem working you manually > created these device files? > > This command, executed as root from within the /dev directory, should > create the standard tty device files: > ./MAKEDEV std /dev/ttyS? files agree with ls-1.txt > > Then I'd try minicom and play with the COM port settings; after each > change, try dialing your cell phone with something like > ATDT555-555-1234 > When you hear the modem dial out and/or your cell phone ring, you know > you're on the right COM port. > > (You can hang up the modem with ATZ.) > > -- > Kent > "minicom" dosent exist on my system. 'minicom' command results in file not found message and man minicom results are simular. Also there is no entry in info for minicom. The entry in dmesg for ttyS3 is different from ttyS0 & ttyS1 it may be helpful. There was somthing strange happened. I booted normally and at the GUI login cntl-alt-F1 to get back to command line. When finished I attempted to transfer /var/log/demsg to floppy and received the file does not exit message. Knowing it had to be there I issued 'startx' and received the X is running message. So I did a 'killx' and another 'startx' which booted directly into KDE bypassing GUI login Then I went to console and reissued the command to transfer /var/log/demsg to floppy and file not found message appeared. Called Konk(sp) and moved to /var/log and demsg was present ckicked on same and transfered it to floppy. That is the long way around. When I clicked on the logout symbol I returned to command line.
