generally the modem is on ttyS0 - I reworked the serial_detect code as it
was bypassing this port, which isn't a big deal on x86 - as modems rarely
reside there
the message you show above leads me to believe the normal serial driver is
loaded - I've had the best success using only "macserial" - I take it the
following line was not setup in /etc/modules.conf?
alias serial macserial
this is the type of output macserial should show:
[stew@powerbook-cooker SRPMS]$ dmesg | grep modem
tty00 at 0xd586e020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC (cobalt modem)
If you check the list archives, there was a long discussion on some other
aspects of getting the modem working reliably.
