For a single-user workstation it doesn't much matter, but the administrator of a multiuser system might not want to let just any user work the modem. It is more customary to allow a group to work the modem, and add the users to be allowed to the group. groupadd modem chgrp modem /dev/ttyS0 chmod g+rw /dev/ttyS0 chgrp modem /var/lock chmod g+rwx /var/lock I don't know how to add a user to a group, except to edit /etc/passwd and give it that group number. Lawson Oh, right, I don't know any way an external modem could be a winmodem. wine does not work winmodems, you need a linux device driver for that, and there are a few for some winmodems. -- ---oops--- ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
