Re: Step 1 for Seyon and ISDN



Ref.: Martin Bialasinski's answer to a Seyon-with-ISDN question.

Dear Martin,

When I start seyon as a user (I have not tried as root) with "seyon -modems
/dev/ttyI0 &", the following message appears in the xterm window:

Seyon Copyright (c) 1992-1993 Muhammad M. Saggaf. All rights reserved.
Version 2.1 rev. 4c i486-Linux steve@hammer 03/28/98 20:09:08.

Locating Modems...
>> Error: Unable to Open Modem ``/dev/ttyI0'': Permission denied.
Modem ``/dev/ttyI0'' is Unavailable.

>> Error: No Modems Available.

In the popupwindow (blue background with a red button with "Exit" on it),
I see

>> Modem initialization routine failed

Possible causes:
* no modem device is specified
* modem device is locked
* failure to open modem device
  (e.g. non-existent port,
  insufficient permission, ..etc)

Suggested action:
* check that you specified the correct
  port
* check that no other process is using
  the modem

and I can only click on "Exit" and the program stops.

This is the output of ls -l /dev/ttyI0:
crw-rw----   1 root     dialout   43,   0 Sep 10 15:21 /dev/ttyI0

Do I have to change the permission (how)?

In case it is relevant, iprofd runs. I have not created a directory
~/.seyon, since the program should offer the possibility to do it and to
create the startup files in it. Unfortunately, I am not even seeing the
buttons/menus of the program yet.

Thank you for any help.
Remo
