Well, in MSDOS, I can just go, "echo atdt2772000 > com2" and it dials my
modem, so I'm thinking, OK, I'll find out which device my modem is on...
And I was logged in as root, so now I have 4 or 5 nice text files in my
/dev directory that say "atdt2772000" in them.  What now?  BTW, I was
trying cua01 and cua02...these are the serial devices, right?  I already
tried "sh MAKEDEV" and nothing happened.  Thanks for any help, unless
you're going to tell me to reinstall, then no thanks. :)
