Whew, I finally have linux running halfway decently on my thinkpad. (description of my long saga coming soon!) Most things are working fine (network, pcmcia support, dock ii recognition, X), thanks to the many fine hints that I have gotten on this list! I have a problem with the mwave modem, however. I run linux by booting off a dos floppy which goes through the 1. ps2 mode3x on; 2. mwgames on 3. mwmodem on routine before loading linux with loadlin. Everything is fine here, except that the modem doesn't seem to work. cu complains that /dev/modem (linked to /dev/cua1) is already in use. A look at the usual lock directories doesn't show anything (/var/spool/locks & /var/spool/uucp). I am stuck. Am I missing something obvious? Any and all hints will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, --Sridhar PS: I also just tried minicom (since cu is supposed to be buggy and it has the same problem).
