Re: [Plug] Seeking help with 3Com PCMIA modem card
|
The /dev/cua[0-3] devices are supposedly deprecated. Instead, use one
of the /dev/ttyS[0-3] devices. Either use dmesg, or look at your
/var/log/messages and see what the modem gets assigned as during the
init process, it'll probably be /dev/ttyS1 (if your modem is on COM2).
Symlink /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS1 -- but if you do this, make sure all
of the software that you have that's goin to use the modem uses /dev/modem
and none of it uses /dev/ttyS1.
