What kind of modem are you using? You should know that /dev/modem is a symlink to the actual modem device. I have a serial modem on one machine and another one that's USB. There is a /dev/modem on both machines but it points to different devices. You need to know the kind of modem you are using to determine what device it is and if the driver for it has been loaded. The actual device is likely somewhere in /dev/tty or /dev/tts. A serial modem is /dev/ttyS0, the USB modem is /dev/ttyACM0. I don't have DSL or cable, so I have no idea which device points there. You might Google on the web for the Linux device database. A lot of modems are listed with the drivers that run them. > Now I'd like to send a fax and Kdeprintfax tells me it can't find > /dev/modem. That application likes /dev/modem -- period. Once you determine which device is your modem, then symlink it to /dev/modem and Kdeprintfax will work. deedee Registered Linux User #327485 WordStar Users Group Community: http://wordstar2.com/WordStar_Users WordStar & Linux: http://wordstar2.com Mailing Lists: http://wordstar2.com/mailman/listinfo -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
