thanks again, you guys are really helpful and it is so nice of you to take the time to help to help me.

My next question is this.

I have a modem connected, see attached dmesg.

It is connected in the com port but the dmesg says nothing else, how do I know it has found it?
Should there be something else in the dmesg?

Also a guy from the list helped me out earlier with some config files, the file seems to idicate the device should be /dev/dty00. How do I know if it is? or what it is on if 
another one?

Thanks for all your help. I am learning so much.
