Unfortunately many modems and most ISDN TAs use proprietary interfaces and
thus won't work with this drivers. Check for ACM compliance before buying.
- The driver (with devfs) creates these devices in /dev/usb/acm:
-
- crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 0 Apr 1 10:49 0
- crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 1 Apr 1 10:49 1
- crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 2 Apr 1 10:49 2
-
- And so on, up to 31, with the limit being possible to change in acm.c to up
-to 256, so you can use up to 256 USB modems with one computer (you'll need
-three USB cards for that, though).
-
- If you don't use devfs, then you can create device nodes with the same
-minor/major numbers anywhere you want, but either the above location or
-/dev/usb/ttyACM0 is preferred.

To use the modems you need these modules loaded:
