Re: Help with USR Sportster 33.6 modem, RedHat Linux 4.1

[Jacek Badziak <Jacek.Badziak@students.mimuw.edu.pl>]

	Please check your permissions on file /dev/cuax where x is the
number of COM to which your modem is connected (should be rw-rw-rw)
You may also test your modem using 'cu' command fe. "cu -l /dev/cuax"

Best regards
Jack
