My external modem works but was not recognised by kudzu. Luckily I refused to remove the configuration.
Well, in the case of an external serial modem, it ain't no huge deal if kudzu removes the configuration. AFAIK the only thing it configures for you (besides its own database) is that it creates /dev/modem. Otherwise it's just a serial port with something attached to it, and your programs aren't going to care if kudzu knows about it or not.
Ok, I don't understand kudzu then. I thought being recognized by kudzu is a precondition to being used later on.
I checked /dev/modem though: it is a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0, so hopefully that's ok.
Anyway, I'm going to start using the modem see what happens.
