thanks derek

I suppose I do so anyway here is what I typed

# ln -s /dev/modem /dev/ttyS0

interesting thing is pon and poff work no problem so I don't really 
understand what is going on as pppd seems to be fine.
I tried  wrong port addressing (ttyS3...) and message I get is " sorry, 
can't open modem"

whereas now on connection I get the following sequence:
1-looking for modem
2-modem ready
3-sorry, the modem doesn't respond

any clues?
