do you remember which one it was in SuSE?
/dev/ttyS0 equivalent to COM1 on other scrapware
/dev/ttyS1 equivalent to COM2 on other scrapware
and so on
if it was /dev/modem it still was one of the above, b/c it was a symlinked to one of the above.

found it, but it wont initialize...

have a usr 5610 hard pci modem and a network card. network card works fine. modem, however, will not initialize. i run kppp and it locates the modem on com1, says modem ready, and then initializing modem and stays that way...never connects. when i go to the setup options and press the query modem, it does the full query, but all of the ati(sp?) text boxes remain emtpy as if it got no information on the query. the modem worked fine under suse 8 and is not a soft modem. the modem shows up under lspci. i'm having the same problem on both my home machines.

Have you got kppp setup to use /dev/modem or /dev/ttySX? It is possible that Mandy has mis-linked the /dev/modem file to the wrong ttySX file.

Is your modem on that COM port, though? If the program points to the wrong place, it isn't going to work.
COM1 = ttyS0
COM2 = ttyS1
COM3 = ttyS2
COM4 = ttyS3

modem in-communicado

i tried all of the ports! i tried all of the different settings that kppp has in all of their different groupings! still nothing on either machine!? all of the other ports give a message that they are unable to find the modem...the only one that doesn't is ttyS0, it locates the modem, says modem ready, then says it is initializing it but never finishes. i even tried like 5 different modem initializing strings. OH PLEASE HELP ME! grin.

vance.
