I have an ISDN TA 128 and a USR Sportster connected to ttyn1a and b respectively. If I ask kermit to set line and dial, it talks to the modem just fine. If I configure /etc/wvdial.conf accordingly for my ppp connection, irrespective of which modem I try and use, I get the error, “MODEM NOT RESPONDING”. I have tried referencing /dev/ttyn1a and /dev/dg/dgnc/ttyn1a with no luck.
setserial -g ttyn1a
returns
Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument
wvdialconf doesn’t scan ttyn1* but if I hard link ttyn1a to ttySn1a I get :

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Both modems work fine when connected to /dev/ttyS0. so I know modem and cables and also the lines are fine. Kermit works ok, so presumably the problem lies somewhere between the driver and the O/S, which is Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1AS. wvdial is version 1.41. Any ideas ?
