It looks from your message that you are on the rithg track. Look for sio
lines in the output from "dmesg".
dmesg | grep sio
Read the part of the handbook on serial ports, terminals and modems.
/usr/share/doc/handbook...
The manual page for the sio device has lots of good info. Also a quick read
of the interesting parts of /dev/MAKEDEV can be enlightening.
Also note that you can just cat data to the device file and watch for
flickering lights on the (external) modem.
Good luck
chris
