Hello,

sorry for being so quiet in the past weeks but unfortunately I have a
job and fortunately vacations.

I now got the modem up and running. Thanks a lot for your help.

But there are (currently) 2 more problems/questions:

- to get the slmodemd process running I need to manually enter

  mkdir -p /dev
  mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0

after every reboot. Otherwise I get the error:

 error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr0': No such device
 error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0'

How can I get the /dev/slamr0 permanently?

- The Modem-Card has 2 plugs (for probably 2 lines) how do I have to
setup the config to use both lines independently?

Regards,
Thomas
