"cu" is for UUCP.
If you used UUCP before on the old kernel, the basic theory on a new
kernel is that it still should work, providing that the new kernel does
not start any process which locks a seriel port with something like a mouse.
You could then have a IRQ problem as ttyS3 could possably be a shared
interrupt with ttyS1.
'cat /proc/interrupts' will show IRQ's in use.
'cat /proc/ioports' shows ioports
'ls -al /dev/modem' will show on which commport the moden is linked to.
What you possably need to do is setup your system for PPP.
Others Like Ray, have more experiance on that subject than i.
