I recently made a post in the installation forum, and paj was trying to help me, but we have become stumped. I have tried to install the drivers for the Intel 80281 modem, and it says installation successful, use either dev/modem/ or ttySL0, but when I try /dev/modem/ it still points to ttyS0, and when I tried ttySL0 it said that no such device existed. I logged in as root, moved /dev/modem/ to a different folder, then renamed ttySL0 as /dev/modem. Still said no such device.

I first downloaded the drivers from smartlinks website and installed, then I tried the drivers on SuSE 9.0 cd 4, I rpm it, then run the config in the smartlink folder, all seems well, but when I try to use it...no such luck. If anybody has run into the problem before or knows of a way to fix it....it would be much appreciated.

Try "chmod 666" on the tty and /dev/modem, this will give read and write access to everyone/every program and it may allow the driver to access the modem and allow ppp to access it as well.
