Re: [aclug-L] chmod 777 /dev/modem

John you are very, very good.
I did the ls, and /dev/modem was pointing to cua3.  I changed it
(using ln -s ), to point to ttyS3 ... and it works -- the problem
just 'went away'!!!

thanks again John, (now if you could help me with my sound..... ;)

later,
mike wagle
