Re: haven't gotten drivers to work

I believe i have the drivers installed correctly now, but not sure how
to set the modem up.  Install file in the divers says i can access the
modem @ /dev/ttySHSF0. when i go to modem setup in the control center
i don't see that as a choice.  that file is in the /dev folder.
