I think the changes to drakx (installer) between 8.0 and 8.2 don't make this entry now unless you go through the modem setup during install. Try making the entry, and/or modprobe macserial dmesg | grep tty should give something like this: tty00 at 0xd5a29020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC (internal modem) You don't want to see something like this: Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled Which means the normal serail driver is loaded (handy if you have a PCMCIA modem). The alias loads macserail instead, when you modprobe serial.
