[ILUG] ltmodem on Fedora 3

[Rory Browne]

Hi

Maybe Fedora is getting back at me for not liking it but I installed
FC3, on a system with and Lucent winmodem(supported by the ltmodem
driver). I installed an ltmodem rpm that I found on the internet,
which works - kinda. I have to manually add the gateway (route add
default gw ....), and the device files in /dev disappear after reboot.

In the past I've used mdk, with uses devfs, and SuSE, which supports
as a default install option. It seems that Fedora deletes and replaces
the nodes in /dev everytime the system is shutdown and restarted.
Besides running mknod each time manually(or in the startup scripts, or
via cron), is there anyway to keep the file in question(ie
/dev/ttyLT0) there?

Also shouldn't kppp add the route itself automaticly? Any idea why I
have to do it manually?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards
Rory
