Thanks to Marvin and Marcus for pointing me to the sv92 packages. I have downloaded and installed as per the Readme.1st file in the package. This has resulted in the creation of ttyAGS3 in /dev similar to the entries for ttyS0, 1, 2, 3 as shown below. crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 62, 67 2008-02-16 19:24 ttyAGS3 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2008-02-16 19:25 ttyS0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 49 2008-02-16 19:14 ttys1 I don't know where to go next. (Just new to Linux!) Is this the expected outcome of the installation? What should I do to try to test the modem? wvdialconf looks for a modem on ttyS0 and ttyS1, but doesn't know about ttyAGS3 Also ttyAGS3 disappears on reboot, but re-appears after the modprobe steps: $ sudo modprobe agrmodem $ sudo modprobe agrserial $ lsmod | grep agr agrserial 13872 0 agrmodem 1188580 1 agrserial What do I need to do to make it permanent? Thanks again for your help Regards Terry On Fri Feb 15 17:51 , "Marvin Stodolsky" sent: Use the latest agrsm package at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ The package has good documentation. Report back to the List if you have problems. Hugo is the expert, not me.
