When I worked out how to get to root I tried setserial /dev/ttys3 it said input/output error. I tried setserial/dev/ttys3 it said no such file or directory. I found the man setserial and then tried setserial-g and setserial-a and then I tried setserial -g and setserial -a No of it gave me >> If should return something like: > /dev/ttyS3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 > > If it is not enabled in hardware, it will show: > /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 The man file didn't make much sense apart from I didn't try anything that said 'set' as there was a warning about locking up the computer. Any further help gratefully received. I have Redhat 9 and a Motorola SM56 Speakerphone modem, on com 4. I just want to get online.
