The answer higly depends on what you want todo with your modem; if you want to dial-out, you do not need the above files; your terminal application (for example 'kermit') will do this; or the ppp/chat will do; if you want to offer dial-in service (for fax or for data/login), check the ports for 'HylaFAX' or for 'mgetty' and follow the installation guide; HIH matthias -- Sent from my FreeBSD netbook Matthias Apitz | - No system with backdoors like Apple/Android E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | - Respect for open standards
