Re: Using modem under dosemu 1.1.5

Ralph,

Check the permissions on /dev/ttyS0 (or 1 etc) and on whatever it links 
to. On my Slackware 9.0 system the /dev/ttyS0 links to /dev/tts/0 which  
was set read/write for root only. Changed it to read/write everyone 
(0666 I think) and everything worked great. Also, if you are using devfs 
you might need to modify /etc/devfsd.conf to save permissions accross 
re-boots.

Hope this helps,
