Ok. I assume you have a mouse or something attatched to ttyS1 that kudzu detects. Under Linux, there are no modem drivers, so kudzu doesn't need to detect it. Normally, it's just a matter of making a symlink to it from /dev/modem and pointing pppd or minicom in the right direction. ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem > Can anyone advise what the best procedure is to make connection to the > modem and establish communication.
