RE: [TCLUG:5770] Modem permissions

Thanks for the reply

So....

What do I need to do so that a regular user can use the /dev/modem or
/dev/cua1 ?

Is there something else I need to setup.  I remember the kppp program
talking about the pppd daemon was not setup with the SUID bit set.  Could
this be it?  If so how do I resolve this issue?

Thanks a bunch!

Mark
