I have just installed fc4 on a clean new system.
On my old system, rh9 saw the modem as /dev/ttyS4 (note the "S4") and
automatically setup the link /dev/modem to point to it (or come to think
of it, I /may/ have had to set up the link manually). Anyway, this link
survived reboots.
On my new system, fc4 sees the same modem as /dev/ttyS14 (note the
"S14") and does not set up the /dev/modem link. What's more, each and
every time I reboot, the link disappears. The link survives logouts,
but not reboots.
It wouldn't be so bad if the PPP program interfaces would offer
/dev/ttyS14, but they don't go beyond /dev/ttyS4. But since they offer
/dev/modem, I can just link /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS14, except that I
have to do it after every boot to keep them working.
Anyone know what's going on with the evaporating link?
