Internal modem configuring and Red Hat 7.0

Dear Everyone,

I have just recently finished installing Red Hat 7.0 on my computer and am now at the stage of configuring my internet connection. I have successfully entered all of my account details however there are problems with my internal modem. In an attempt to diagnose these problems I have run the dip dialup program from the shell prompt whilst logged in as the root user.

Here are the commands that I typed:

dip -t
DIP>port ttyS3

(I have identified that my internal modem is connected to Com port 3)

These are the results that I was returned:

DIP:attempt to use already locked tty /var/lock/LCK...ttyS3
DIP:can't open - problems with locking ttyS3

If anybody has information on how I can remedy this "locking" problem they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Regards

David

MAYBE: rm -f /var/lock/LCK.ttyS3

maybe this is a misleading error message saying that the device cannot be accessed at all
