Hello, sorry for being so quiet in the past weeks but unfortunately I have a job and fortunately vacations. I now got the modem up and running. Thanks a lot for your help. But there are (currently) 2 more problems/questions: - to get the slmodemd process running I need to manually enter mkdir -p /dev mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 after every reboot. Otherwise I get the error: error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr0': No such device error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0' How can I get the /dev/slamr0 permanently? - The Modem-Card has 2 plugs (for probably 2 lines) how do I have to setup the config to use both lines independently?
