CJ: Are you sure about ttyS2? That corresponds to COM3: (port 0x3e8 and IRQ4). While there is nothing wrong with that, it strikes me as being a wee bit unconventional. Back in simpler times when 486's under DOS 3.2 reigned supreme, modems were usually set to COM2: ==> ttyS1 (port 0x2fe and IRQ3); AFAIK, this is still the usual way to go, but perhaps you have your reasons. -- cmg
