Hi,
I have installed Linux Red Hat 9. Can anyone tell me how to configure my modem? It is a Motorola SM56 connected to COM3. I want to see working and I want to configure internet for it.

Hei, masters, where are you?

If you are setting up using kppp or network device, you will find when setting up your connection, it will say /dev/modem or /dev/tty0 as your default.

In Linux:

/dev/tty0 = COM1
/dev/tty1 = COM2
/dev/tty2 = COM3

So, all you have to do is set the modem to use /dev/tty2 when setting up your connection. You can also symlink /dev/modem to /dev/tty2 to make /dev/modem point to /dev/tty2.
 
Thanks a lot, I'll try right today
