Ted,
The dial-out devices in Linux are called /dev/cua0 ... 3 (for COM1 ... 4).
[/dev/ttyS0 ... S3 are the dial-in devices (physically the same).]
Also, if the port you're using (sounds like COM3) does not have the default
address and IRQ, then a "setserial" command should be used in one of the
start-up files (/etc/rc.d/rc.local is good) to provide the necessary
information.
And too, if it's really COM3 (cua2 or S2) you're dealing with, and it does
have the default IRQ, then it's using an IRQ also used by COM1 (or maybe
it's COM2) and there may be a conflict. See "man setserial"; the syntax is
straightforward.
I hope it helps.
- Vince
