Roger, I have unpacked and looked at the 3COM rpm support package. It is compirised of a script "serial" which sets up (if necessary) a /dev/ttyS3 port and then calls a binary/compiled /bin/3ComMdm which aspires to optimize setserial action. Whether these will serve you well, I cannot assess. However I will send serial & 3ComMdm to you. To use first: $ sudo cp 3ComMdm /bin/ $ sudo chmod +x /bin/3ComMdm With serial in your home folder just once: $ sudo chmod +x serial There after you can just $ sudo ./serial to run a test. This will call the 3ComMdm action. Next again try $ sudo wvdialconf Report back to the List.
