yeah, you do.<div><br></div><div>I haven&#39;t been paying complete attention so I&#39;m not sure what they want you to do with the modem, but if you don&#39;t need to get information from the modem(eg to just set it up) you should be able to send commands to it using echo command &gt; modemport or something, I used to do that with msdos so I assume it can be done with linux. probably possible to capture the output from the modem and route it to stdout too but don&#39;t ask me how to do that either</div>
