Hello from Gregg C Levine
That modem is made by Boca Research. Its a Boca 14.4V.32BIS M144IW. And no
it isn't getting a port assigned to it, at least I think not, it doesn't
show up on the booting legend. What exactly are dmesg lines? Are they the
sameones that the kernel prints out during a boot cycle? If they are, then
no I can't, after all this is the same problem I had with sending a log of
my first, and second attempts to bring up an X windows session. He isn't as
yet connected in this operating system lifetime to the Internet. This guy
is.
