Problem with modem

Problem with modem

[Rick Knight]

I'm trying to get an msdos comm app (ProcommPlus) running under dosemu. 
So far everything goes well except the modem locking. I have comm2 
enabled as /dev/modem, /dev/modem is a link to ttyS1. I can use 
/dev/modem or /dev/ttyS1 with minicom and with kppp without any 
problems, but when I try to use the comm port under dosemu (or xdosemu) 
i get a n error message about the tty lock. It seems that dosemu creates 
a lock on the tty that prevents dosemu from using the tty. The exact 
error message is

"ERROR: attempt to use already locked tty /var/lock/LCK..modem"

How can I get past this problem?

Thanks,
Rick Knight

I put the /dev/modem entry inthe corresponding com port setting in the 
dosemu.conf file and it works.  btw, did you see:
