Hello all,
I started using RedHat about a year ago, then tried SuSE and now I'm onto
Mandrake.  My problem is with /dev/modem permissions when trying to access
minicom.  Under SuSE, I had no problem using minicom as a user (not 'root').
But with both RedHat & now Mandrake, I get 'permission denied /dev/modem'
when I try to start minicom as a user (although I can use it just fine as
'root').  Is this a security feature under these distribs?  And does anybody
know how to get around this?  I should add, I've already tried chmod 755
/dev/modem and that doesn't seem to do it.

Thanks!
Michael Holt
