Why are you using com5 for your modem?  Is it a winmodem? If so, either it 
won't work with linux or it will need a specially compiled linux driver 
(for instance I have read that some lucent or pctel modems can be used as 
'linmodems').

com5 ttyS4
With capital S

I get error messages if I type ttys1 or even tty1 instead of ttyS1 for 
Com2.

Do you have a free ISA slot to which you can add a hardware modem on Com1 
or Com2? (disable any onboard serial ports first).  Our better internal 
ones can be set to Com1 through Com4, which is why I suspect you have a 
winmodem on Com5.

If not, do you have a serial port?  We have extra 14.4K internal and 
external hardware modems.

Steven, if he can't change the modem on this computer, is there some way 
the computer could be networked to another computer with a hardware modem 
to use that?
