Howto setup modem for dosemu
Hello.

I would not have thought that the modem wouldn't run if the device was not locked.
Well, it is just a polite behaveor (not a
bug), but in fact it is possible to use the device without locking it. There are reasons against doing this however.

was trying to avoid the development versions.
There are no reasons doing so, as in my own opinion after all dosemu was never very stable:) So you just have to find the version that is most suitable for your own requirements and if this appears to be a development version - why not? For that reason, btw, a lot of people are still using dosemu-0.98 as it meets their needs better than any 1.x versions, but this hopefully can be changed when 1.2 comes.

Think I should try 1.1.3?
As this will fix your particular problem - yes. Or you can even use the latest pre-releases as several people are doing already, because 1.1 branch was evolving rather steadily for the last year. As a bonus of using pre-releases, you'll be able to apply some extra patches to get for example sound working in games:)
