Yes, from dmesg:You say "ttyS3 is different from ttyS0 & ttyS1"; um, yes. They're different files. Maybe you mean something else when you say they're "different"?

It looks like you have two serial ports on your motherboard (00 & 01), in addition to your modem on 04. Apparently the PCI bus is getting confused somehow. You might want to go into the BIOS and temporarily disable the built-in serial ports, and see what that does for you.
I have sent the requested message to the sourceforge.net. with a cc to
whichlist.
Because somewhere in the diddleing I came across dmesg as the log fileWhy are you trying to transfer dmesg to floppy? Without knowing the exact command you used, as whom, in what directory, it's hard to say what might have gone wrong with your copy attempt.
I didnt know and thought it might have something that would help.
But I'm unsure why you'd want to copy it to floppy. If you need it in a file form, you can: dmesg > dmesg.txt and then copy dmesg.txt to wherever you want it, including floppy. If you just want to see the dmesg messages, you can: dmesg | more
I need to transport stuff to windows to make a hard copy &/or to include in an emale. Floppy is the only way I have to do that.
This I don't understand; you say it's doing "nothing absolutely nothing"What happens with the command:Nothing absolutely nothing and I can hear my modem sending. Dont have
echo "ATDT555-1234" > /dev/ttyS3
another number I can call.
and then immediately say you hear the modem sending, which means it's
doing something. Either it's doing nothing or it's doing something.
Which is it?
How about: When and if the modem dials my ISP I can hear The modem output untill a connection is made. I can assure you the modem is doing nothing on either ttys3 or ttys4.
I also assume you didn't really use the bogus number "555-1234"? You want to use a real number, say to your cell phone, or a second line, or to the local time & temperature (I didn't say that - no one can prove I did) and listen to the modem speaker for the time/temp announcement. If this works, that means the computer is seeing your modem, your modem is seeing the phone line, and the modem can dial out.
I used both the bogus number and my ISP's number & nothing happened. I dont think the modem is smart enough to know wheather the number is valid or not and a busy signal or error message from SBC is good enough. By the way the town is too small for time & temp and cell phone service stops at my frount door. Outside it works inside forget it.
What program generated the connection between the modem's 8 I/O lines-- Kent
d000-d007 and /dev/ttyS3 and what would happen if I rm /dev/ttyS4 and maybe
/dev/ttyS3 as well and remade, with MAKEDEV, ttyS3 and then run the program
that makes the original connection.

I think it would be a good idea if you would try a diferent aproach. Since you have some problems configuring it by hand, I suggest using kppp wich is a very nice and userfriendly interface for configuring modems and serial line connections. In the times I used the phone line I used it and it would work on first time ever ! Try it - apt-get install kppp ( I hope you have KDE, I don't kow if it will run as a standallone...)
