Dear group, I am running Win2K/Slackware 9.1 with a Rockwell/Conexant internal modem with vendor id 127A and device id 2015. Ocassionally , i get the error "Unable to open modem" and the modem does not respond till i reboot the box. This usually happens whenever i run apps like Arson (cd burning front end) or K3b, which , i think try to contact one of the cddb servers and in the process lock up the modem (purely my conjecture here) . This also happens whenever i run cdrdao from the CLI .I understand that a lock file needs to be created for modem access, and have specified the use of a lock file in kppp setup. Google and PPP Faq suggested the manual creation of a lock file but did not specify how. I tried creating a lock file called "lock" with the entry "lock" in /etc/ppp/ but that hasn't helped (remember doing this while on RedHat) .The modem works fine in Windows . The modem shows up as /dev/modem symlinked to /dev/ttySHSF0 . Any pointers will be appreciated .
