I was wondering if anyone can give me a hand with my modem problems.

I have set the modem up on serial port B of a Sparc 1+ running a generic
1.4.1 kernel, and so far have no been able to get it to play ball at all.
(Modem is a US Robotics Sportster Flash flashed to v.90) I saw the earlier 
postings to this list and followed the advice, and whilst I am further on, 
have still a bit to go. 

The latest state of things is that trying to use cu -p modem to test 
the line reports that the line is busy if you try to use /dev/ttyb and
will connect, but will accept no commands bar ~. and return no output
whatsoever if /dev/dtyb is set.

Needless to say the getty entry for /dev/ttyb in /etc/ttys has been
removed and set to off, and the speed is set to 38400 (though even trying
at 9600 has no effect).

I cant see what else immediately springs to mind, I have had the cable 
and modem on a pc to test them and they appear to be fine.

Is it possible that the serial ports themselves are dead ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Steve.
