This is a report on experience in getting my 3com 5610 modem working...
includes details of *relevant* output from all the configuration utilities I
could find, and a *working* solution.
(there seem to be a significant number of people in an identical situation)
Hi all,
After
Success the breakthrough command was wvdialconf which located and configured
the modem. The modem was located on ttyS4 and dialing the ISP succeded.
Thanks to all.
Regards;
Hoyt

So all you need to do is create a similar file for ttyS4. This command
should do it:
MAKEDEV -v ttyS4
Already tryed that it created /dev/ttyS4 but dosent change the message

I have come into this thread pretty late, but from what I understand,
you are trying to get a modem to work. It's a PCI modem, and you can
see it mentioned in the kernel as ttyS04. The problem, as I see it,
is that you can't get the modem to respond to any calls from any
programs?
