Hello,

I need to use a DOS application on my Linux box, and it needs access to a
modem on a serial port (COM1).  I have things set up and, when I am logged
in as root, everything works perfectly.  I have dosemu set up so that
"regular" users who are listed in the dosemu.users file can use it.  Dosemu
seems to work ok when I log in as a normal user, except it does not access
the serial port.

This is a new installation of dosemu-0.99.10.0 .  One clue I found is that
when I log in as root, the owner and group of the serial port lock file is
uucp, uucp respectively.  When I log in as a regular user, ownerships are
root, users.  My user ID is a member of  the "users" group.

I have read all of the FAQs, HOW-TOs, and newsgroup information that I can
find, but haven't found anything that addresses the problem.  Can you please
either answer directly, or point me to the answer.

Thank you very much.

~ Gary
