FC4: Finding modem

I upgrated my home computer up Fedora Core 4 and I was surprised when I tried to connect to Internet – my modem was not found (yeah, I still have dial-up connection but for me it’s enough). After two hours Google searching I found a way how configure the modem. I run a Linux utility wvdialconf and it found the modem on ttyS14. Then I just created a symlink:


ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem


Now the modem works correctly! Strange, It seems Fedora Core 4 was released crude! I spent some time to resolve problems with FC4 on my work computer. Now I need to do the same things on my home computer. Perhaps, it’s a good idea to change Linux distributive 😉
