The drivers must be loaded to dynamically create /dev/ttyAGS3. Under current Linux devices are in RAM space and do not survive shutdown. ALL needed devices are created up and/or ONLY when there drivers are installed. So the steps are as Root: # modprobe agrmodem # modprobe agrserial which should report creation of /dev/ttyAGS3. If so # ln -sf /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR Check for success with: # ls -l /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR (these steps can be automated later, but best to Understand first) If successful, then test for recognition with: # wvdialconf MarvS On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 11:01 AM, mwl <mossianin_lbcmi@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I will respond to both to you Marvin and Antonio in this note. > > First, Marvin, no apologies are necessary.
