minicom probably isn't installed. I haven't used it in a loooooong time, but it used to be on the disks "somewhere". Try urpmi minicom
Did you check your ttyS to see where your modem actually resides? Kppp, setup, Device, and try the ttyS's in order, going back to the Modem panel and querying the modem each time. If you can't find the modem that way, something is seriously messed up. If your system does find it, you can probably just re-create the link from the ttyS to /dev/modem. The lt modem driver definitely needs that link because it is referenced in your /etc/modules.conf hth On Tuesday 29 July 2003 06:58 pm, Grant wrote: > > On Wed, 2003-07-30 at 07:45, Grant wrote: > > > I had my the Lucent winmodem in my laptop working with a program called > > > Penggy that dials up to AOL.
