 Problem solved...finally!


Got it licked, Rob!

 Went back over the few docs I could find online for the modem, and carefully re-read all the manpages for the
getty programs. Then removed all the getty stuff, reinstalled minicom, and compared the /etc/.config files
with everything i had printed out from the previous installation. Then I noticed some fine print in the online
docs for the modem..."some UNIX systems capable of assigning virtual serial ports may identify the modem as
/dev/ACMn, or /dev/ttyACMn", So I changed the serial port ID to /dev/ttyACM0. The modem shot "OK" right back.
 Got a friend with a modem to call the BBS phone line, and he was able to connect at 56k down and 28.8k up.
Now comes the fun part...setting up Synchronet, loading some files, and getting SMTP, QWK, and DDNS working.
 Thanks for the help, all! I'll probably be bugging sysadmins with silly noob questions as work on the BBS continues.

73 de,
