Thank's.

The serial driver is part of the kernel. The name of the serial port is /dev/ttyS[0,1].

Serial communication programs supplied with RH linux include cu and minicom, neither of which I have used.

You'll need to contact IBM for AIX support :-)

Hi there.
Check the device file for your modem.
Then use the 'cu' to work with it.
Check the man pages before,
but i usually do it like this :

cu -l /dev/tty???? dir

if you then type in
at
and you get back 'ok' you are connected.
For this you should be familiar with the at
dialing commands.
