gargan's Journal: Suse...again...

well, here i am, back again, running suse on my home machine. it was harder to get my modem running this time, so i will record what i did here.

after much searching, two simple commands finally solved the problem.

setserial -g /dev/ttyS*

showed me that my modem was in fact detected, on /dev/ttyS12, so

ln -f /dev/ttyS12 /dev/modem

set yast to use /dev/modem, and all is well.

i guess i need to set everything up like i had it and get used to it. suse is the only distro i can get to work for me, and it works well. as long as you stay within the narrow confines of suseworld, everything works great.

i will keep you posted on my progress.
