An easy way to set up all that stuff is to open X as root- opens a nice lil
menubar with a modem setup util as well as a netowrk setup proggie- to set
up ur connection to ur isp and everything.  I always used those to set it
up- and found out that I could use them outside X too once they were set
up...  like ifup ppp0 would dial my isp (back when I had to use one...).

Greetings all

I'm trying to set up my modem (USR 14.4 internal with fax) under RH 5.1
I've got minicom installed but it keeps spiting "cannot open /dev/modem"

I checked /dev and sure enough, it wasn't there.  I assumed that my modem
would have been put in when I installed, but was not.

The RH manual has zilch about modem setup and the only other book I have
is 5 years old (linux unleashed).

Any help would be welcome.

Thanx in advance

At some point I had the same problem. With dev/modem, dev/mouse, and
dev/printer. All kind of programs complained that they could not find.
So I created them using
ln -s ttyS1 modem

(ttysO is serial port 1, ttyS1 is serial 2.)

You can also use /dev/cua0 or dev/cua1.

Hope this helps. Have fun.
