it would be hard to find, something called somwhere. True.
for your problem, /dev/modem is a link to the real modem device (the port the modem is connected to, like /dev/ttyS0). The permissions must be correct for that device. Yes, that is how I eventually fixed the permission denied problem.
If permissions changed, set it in /etc/permissions.local like it's done in the other permission files. There were also issues to set the dialout user into group dialout, to enable use of the dialer. I do not remember that stuff, I'm on ISDN and refused to reboot for 153 days now to prevent trouble. ;-)
I have logged on many times since yesterday. So far the problem has not recurred and so I am going to wait and see what happens before I change anything else. I will, however, do as you suggest if I find myself having to deal with the problem again. Thanks again, Geoff _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
