ttyS0 or a line with ttyS in it.
Once found in the shell type " ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem" links the
modem to a place more usable by the kppp and if up and if down dialing
programs. just be sure it corresponds with the ttyS number you find in
that dmesg.

There's an easier way to find that, that slips my mind at the moment. It
returns just the lines that might have the info you need.

There's something different wrong with RedHat 7.2 if that's what he is
messing with. Mine allows me on line for about 5 minutes, then something
times out and none of the browsers can find the net. I'm not going to
mess with it for a few months.

Another thing, anyone using an ISA true modem needs to create a sym link
(Linux talk for a shortcut) between dev/modem and the ttySn. I'm not
going to bother looking up my notes on it unless someone needs the info.
