Modem Only Works for Root

**jMon54** · 10-25-2004, 01:36 PM

Logged in as Root I have no problem using my dial-up modem to connect to the internet. But as user, I have to first 'SU' then 'insmod pctel' and 'insmod ptserial' before I can use the modem. How can I can access the modem directly without having to 'SU'?

(Knoppix 3.6 Harddrive Install)

It was not easy... (I am a newbie.) My modem is not only a winmodem but a cnr modem. I am surprised it worked under Linux. All I can say is I did a lot of searching in these forums and finally got it to work. But that was weeks ago and I do not remember exactly how I did it. Sorry.
