Problem with modem
I'm trying to get an msdos comm app (ProcommPlus) running under dosemu. So far everything goes well except the modem locking. I have comm2 enabled as /dev/modem, /dev/modem is a link to ttyS1. I can use /dev/modem or /dev/ttyS1 with minicom and with kppp without any problems, but when I try to use the comm port under dosemu (or xdosemu) i get a n error message about the tty lock. It seems that dosemu creates a lock on the tty that prevents dosemu from using the tty. The exact error message is
"ERROR: attempt to use already locked tty /var/lock/LCK..modem"
How can I get past this problem?
Thanks,

I put the /dev/modem entry inthe corresponding com port setting in the dosemu.conf file and it works. btw, did you see:
