Janina, This site appears to be mostly about a special card which they developed, and the software appears to be designed to work with this card. I'm just looking for a program that will work with the modem I already have hooked up. Minicom keeps complaining about one thing and another. There is no global minicomrc.dfl file, and if I try minicom -s it won't do anything. I tried making a link to ttys1, but that doesn't help. It just gives a different error message.
