kudzu and internal modem

[R. Hirschfeld]

I recently installed YDL 3.0 and every time I booted, kudzu would
complain that the 'Generic Serial Modem' was removed from the system
and ask me what to do.  I got tired of specifying 'do nothing' each
time and eventually told kudzu to keep the configuration, since I do
have an internal modem.  Was this the correct thing to do?  An effect
of this was that a line in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf for the modem was
changed from 'detached: 0' to 'detached: 1'.

Thanks,
Ray

P.S.  I am able to talk to the modem using minicom, although I had to
reconfigure minicom to use /dev/ttyS2 instead of /dev/ttyS1.

P.P.S.  I speculate that kudzu didn't see the modem because it runs in
'safe' mode at boot time and doesn't probe the serial ports, but I
don't know enough about its workings to be sure.  The Apple System
Profiler also has some trouble identifying the modem, so the problem
might lie with the modem itself.
