I did it both ways. Finally, I created the symbolic link not in /dev, and moved it with File Manager/Konqueror into the relevant directory. That worked. Now, when udev starts at boot, I get a momentary 'modem' failed message, followed by a SUCCESS in big caps, and boot continues, and the device comes up working. I'm sure it's me, but, I'm not sure what I could have been doing wrong. -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
