-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmmm, you do have a ttyS4 device file in your /dev directory, right? If your up to it, can you install minicom, so that we can rule out the modem as the source of the problem? Do: apt-get install minicom Then, do: minicom -s to configure it, and set it up for /dev/ttyS4. The configuration screens are fairly self-explanatory, so give me a yell if you're confused there. Then, once you get into minicom's terminal screen after exiting the configuration screen, minicom will try to initialize the modem. You'll see the init string, followed by "ok" from the modem. Then, type at and hit enter. If the modem responds with "ok", type atdt and hit enter, and you should hear the dial tone at this point. Hit the spacebar to hang up the modem, and exit minicom. If all of this went as described, then your modem isn't the problem. If this didn't go as described, then please explain what happened.
