Artur, Add as a single line to /etc/modprobe.conf install slamr modprobe --ignore-install ungrab-winmodem; modprobe --ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 ||(/bin/mknod -m 660> /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp uucp /dev/slamr0) You may refer to http://www20.brinkster.com/olivares/slmodemd-setup-1.html Should that fail, I have another working solution if the above advice does not work .
