[Bug 77467] external serial modem don't work (but does work on other linuxes)

[javi]

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 6.10:

When going to System -> Administration -> Networking and trying to
configure an external modem (not winmodem) it simply don't work at all.

When I try to run "sudo pppconfig" it does not even recognize it.

The modem works perfectly with other Linuxes, and does not require a
driver, as it is directly connected to the RS232 port. I've been using
this modem for years with Linux without problem. I tryed it tonight with
Suse and works perfectly.

There seems to be also more people with this problem, according to this
page:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/HardwareModem

The modem do work well with 6.06, so this seems to be a 6.10 issue.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
