Modem Problem

[Nameless]

Hey,
This is hopefully a simple question. I am running Slackware 8 and I just got the new kernel 2.4.10 running. I was quite surprised to hear sound which is a real treat. Anyways when I go to connect to the net it just says
Sorry, Modem is busy
With my old kernel (2.4.5 and 2.2.19) I always had to do a setserial. But when I do a setserial i get the message:
Cannot setserial info: Address already in use.
Also I noticed in /proc/pci I noticed it now says:
"USrobotics/3com 56k FaxMoadem model 5610"
Which is neat because it used to say :
"Unknown serial device"

Thanks

I don't know if this is your problem, but it's the only thing I can think of:

Did you remember to upgrade pppd when you upgraded to 2.4.x kernels from 2.2.19?

Hey,
Ya i fixed it. What the problem was, was that in the previous versions of the kernel the modem was /dev/ttyS2 but now this new one supports com ports past 4 (my modem is com 5) so all i had to do was delete /dev/modem and make a new symbolic link to /dev/ttyS4

thanks anyways
