Same here. I have used many Linux distros and none have not been able to
handle any of my Hayes modems connected to the serial port. Some have
wrongly linked /dev/modem to ttyS0 when the modem has been on /dev/ttyS1
but that is easily fixed. I've never understood why you need a symlink
to point to the serial port anyway. ;)

Probably because you took the time and trouble to understand Linux 
addressing conventions and how to enter the modem init strings.

What we are really talking is all basic stuff that any DOS user
would understand. Port? init? If Tom can't see that much then he is 
just wasting his and others time.

:-}

P.S. How's the new H/D traveling?
