Thanks for the advice Rick. I tried it, without success. This seems to
be something that broke between RH9 and FC3 distros. I had it working on
RH9, but I did FC3 as a fresh install.
Seems to me that a *lot* of stuff broke between those releases:
Installer (anaconda drive geometry problems)
Sound
man page database not created
etc.

SET CARRIER-WATCH OFF
SET LINE /dev/ttyS0
