I've got Suse 6.4 (2.2.14 kernel) installed on my Beige G3. I have SupraFaxModem 33.6 hooked up to the modem port through a serial switch box (it's set to the modem, I just wanted to include it in the description for the sake of being thorough). I went into Yast and configured the modem for COM1 (yeah, wouldn't it be nice if the choices were actually - modem/printer port). I then went to the auto modem detect. I saw the lights flash on the modem, but the auto detect failed. I created a file 'afile' that contained the following lines: ATH0 ATZ ATDT 5551212 I then executed the following line: cat afile > /dev/modem and cat afile > /dev/ttyS0 both produced the same results, the lights on the modem flashed, but I never heard it try to dial. ----------------------------- Robert G.
