Ohhh ... so maybe modem-manager is what the Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade did to break my ppp dial up (and FAXing ... see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/469881). I've been rebooting in the hopes that if I did nothing, there'd be nothing making /dev/ttyACM0 busy. No joy! But the nasty modem-manager *is* running on my Ubuntu 9.10 system. First, the Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade kills my X/GDM ... and now this!
~$ ps -ef | fgrep -i modem root 1437 1 0 01:42 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/modem-manager 1000 11962 5326 0 02:17 pts/0 00:00:00 fgrep -i modem It would seem as if Ubuntu isn't testing modem support (... anymore?). Ouch. It just kills me that this just works like a charm under both MS Windows Vista and 7. Man, I've been spoiled. For Ubuntu, Karmic Koala seems unusually ornery ;-) ============================================================== Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
