Back when I did dial-up on Fedora Core 4, I didn't have to mess around with devices, nor their permissions. I set the serial port to use in the GUI configurator for the dial-up settings, and that was it. There probably was some option for me to set in the network configuration whether any user could bring the interface up and down, rather than requiring root to do it. I don't really know, but it sounds familiar, and makes sense. At one time, I did play around with linking /dev/modem to a /dev/tty, but it proved a pointless waste of time. It offered no real advantage, other than not having to remember which tty the modem was connected to. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
