About 2 months after getting my Red Hat (3.0.3) system up and running on a Linux-dedicated Pentium 75, I decided to install a modem. &nbsp;It's a 14.4 Practical Peripherals modem (very nice modem, by the way). &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anyway, I haven't a clue as to how to get Linux to recognize it. &nbsp;I have already read the Serial HOWTO, but I'm still confused. &nbsp;All of the /dev/cua's and /dev/ttys's exist on my system, but where do I go from here? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also, is there any way to test it without downloading Kermit or some other software?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help.<br />
