Hi again,

I tried fuser by hand and it works fine (as su). It lists processes,
kills, with no error messages (I ran statserial /dev/ttyS1 in bg then used
fuser to see the PID, then used fuser -k to kill it -all worked)

I used fuser again (my new favorite command) to see if anything was
running on those dev's and nope, nothing.

Yep, mincom works fine...gives the OK status from the from the modem and
dials out. I haven't actually connected to anything though, because I
don't have an ISP dial-in account.

The modem is new ... I don't know.

thanks again for all your time,

Jeff
