Thank you for your response. I don't understand why I would change the device though. The modem that I am using connects via ethernet (RJ45/CAT5 plugged directly into a router or switch) and not the serial port which is what I thought /dev/ttyS0 was. I assumed that being direct ethernet I would need to set the device to rawtcp and give an IP address and port number. What am I missing?
