Hi,
I suppose you've connected your modem to a serial port (COMx
under windows, /dev/ttySx under linux). /dev/ttyx is a terminal, i dont
think modem is that device. Why dont you create a sym-link /dev/ttySx
to /dev/tts/x?

Well learn to substitue a nonsence id for your real id (something like
xyz will do) when posting your config's.

Again /dev/ttyx is a terminal, u can check that by doing
'echo "hi" >> /dev/tty1'
as root. You'll see 'hi' being printed in tty1. A dialup modem usually
connects to the serial port (i.e., /dev/ttyS0). If this device does not
exist create a symlink to tts/0.

Have you compiled serial port support in your new kernel?
Hope this helps,
