1 Chris,

3 I have an old wallstreet, and the also had a great deal of trouble
4 setting up the modem using the 2.4 kernel. I have YDL installed on the
5 main drive and have been using a 2.2 kernel with the modem linked to
6 ttyS2.
7
8 I noticed in the boot messages that the modem port come up as tty02,
9 but linking to that doesn't work.
10
11 In a fit of desperation I tried linking to the VERY old serial port
12 description cua2, and it works!
13
14 YMMV, but let me (us) know if it works. I thought the old descriptions
15 had long been removed, but it was the only way I could get it to work.
16
17 I would be curious to know why this is so. Anybody out there who can
18 enlighten us?
