This brings back nightmares. It's been a while since I used dial-up but |
21 |
this sounds like a permissions issue. Check /etc/group and see if you |
22 |
are in ALL the following groups: |
23 |
|
24 |
tty |
25 |
uucp |
26 |
dialout |
27 |
utmp |
28 |
|
29 |
You can also check the permissions of the ttyS<some number here> to see |
30 |
what it is. Mine is uucp. You shouldn't have to create a group so work |
31 |
with what you got for now. My devices are set to this: |
32 |
|
33 |
root@fireball / # ls -al /dev/ttyS* |
34 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Mar 20 19:01 /dev/ttyS0 |
35 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Mar 20 16:12 /dev/ttyS1 |
36 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Mar 20 16:12 /dev/ttyS2 |
37 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Mar 20 16:12 /dev/ttyS3 |
38 |
root@fireball / # |
39 |
|
40 |
Sometimes pon/poff will need dialout for the program itself and tty to |
41 |
access the ttyS* device. Then that leads to you also needing uucp. |
42 |
Neat huh? Anyway, I suspect you need yourself added to the uucp group. |
43 |
I seem to recall running into this once too. I also had to add myself |
44 |
to utmp but I can recall why. I'm old, don't ask me to remember |
45 |
everything. lol |

47 |
If you have to change anything, don't forget to log out and back in. |
48 |
This is very true if you are logged into KDE. If you forget that, you |
49 |
will drive yourself ding bat crazy. o_O |

I hope this gets you going. I want this nightmare to end. lol |
