We kind of hashed over this a week or 2 ago. The previous person that was
having problems had them all disappear by adding the symlink from
/dev/ttyS0 -> /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/tyS0 /dev/modem
Another thing I've found to help is to add:
alias serial macserial
in /etc/modules.conf, so the normal serial driver does not load
I also found on my machine that the modem was not dropping the phone line
properly on disconnect. I had to add myself to the uucp group and make
sure that group had "rw" permissions on /dev/ttyS0, then add the following
in the kppp options:
DisconnectCommand=/bin/sleep 2;/bin/setserial /dev/modem
