Re: solution: getting a Motorola Razr V3 to work as a GSM modem on FreeBSD

Allow me a quite formal addition:

 I ran gammu-config for the initial setup, and then moved the
 resulting file from /root/.gammurc to the more standard
 location: /etc/gammurc

FreeBSD separates configuration files for the system (/etc
subtree) and for additional ports (/usr/local/etc subtree),
so /usr/local/etc/gammurc would, in my opinion, be the
correct place for this file.



 I thought I would share this in case anyone else ran into the same
 problem I did trying to get a USB modem to work when they plugged into
 FreeBSD!

Many thanks, Mark, this really sounds interesting and useful,
a very good combination. :-)

I agree. However, the related man pages didn't reference this option. This 
seems like
a place where the code and docs could use a small patch to work this way on 
FreeBSD. 
(Or maybe it already works this way, and the docs don't reflect it). 

I suppose in my case, I could still move the config file to /usr/local/etc/ and 
then
symlink it from /etc/, which would meet the requirements of the software, and 
also meet
the expectations of someone expecting a standard FreeBSD layout.

You are welcome.  I have been running a hosting business on FreeBSD since about 
1997 and it 
has worked very well for us.
