When you see 01 it reflects that my set up has the modem on : COM2. : You have to have two devices. One used for dialout, and one for dialin. : typical setup is ttyd0x for dialin and cua0x for dialout. : Use mknod to create these devices.

The callout devices for COM1: and COM2: aren't properly installed in the binary distrib and the MAKEDEV script doesn't make them, too. You have to install them by hand: mknod /dev/cuai00 c 28 160 chown uucp.dialer /dev/cuai00 chmod 660 /dev/cuai00 and so on ... (28 161 for cuai01...)
