by deleting the corresponding file in /var/lock/ for me that is /var/lock/LCK..ttyS1 which currently exists because of my existing Linux dial-up connection (hence DOSEMU is not allowed to use it - be careful: if another running program is already accessing /dev/ttyS1 you should not remove the lock; this only makes sense for stale lock files) Bart - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
