There's a 9 pin connector (nothing attached) that I'm not sure what it's for, a printer port, and mouse and keyboard connectors, otherwise they are all USB ports. (Hardware is NOT my specialty. This is a new Dell Dimension 3000, if that helps any.) > If you do, somewhere in dmesg it should be telling you that your modem > was moved to a different port.

If so, would I be better off getting a new modem that might be recognized? It's a 56k fax modem, IIRC what WinXP was telling me. (I tried to save $20 by not buying a modem installed by Dell, and I knew I was going to regret it...) > Also, look at /dev for more than cuaa0 > > donaldj ==> ll /dev | grep cua > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 240, 128 Jan 1 09:55 cuaa0 > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 240, 132 Jan 1 09:55 cuaa4 > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 239, 160 Jan 1 09:55 cuaia0 > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 239, 164 Jan 1 09:55 cuaia4 > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 239, 192 Jan 1 09:55 cuala0 > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 239, 196 Jan 1 09:55 cuala4 # ls -l /dev/ | fgrep cua crw-rw---- 1 uucp uucp 237, 128 Jan 5 10:04 cuaa0 crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 236, 160 Jan 5 09:42 cuaia0 crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 236, 192 Jan 5 09:42 cuala0 I'm not sure what that tells me. Should I be telling mgetty to use cuaia0 or cuala0? (Is there a good way to test a new /etc/ttys and mgetty config w/o doing a full reboot?) TjL
