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 (rick@rlknight.com)
