Today I booted up my computer and did "sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS14
/dev/modem". Then I launched "/usr/bin/system-control-network" and
activated the modem (already set to dial my ISP and known to work).
Occasionally, the handshaking freezes or gets confused. I've never
found out why. But on this computer, this is the first time that
attempting to cancel the initiation (or dial-up) messes with ppp.
Subsequent attempts to connect complains that ppp is already active.
But then I got something strange. I had opened a terminal to verify
that /dev/modem didn't exist. Then I launched the icon that I set up to
execute "sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem". Then I used the terminal
again to verify that /dev/modem had been created. Then I initiated the
dial-up and it hung. I closed the system-control-network and got a
strange error in the terminal I had left open:

I opened another terminal and ran dmesg and got:
