[CUBE] modem issue

[mike]

make sure one of the is loaded in the kernel (kext stands for kernel 
extension, they live in /System/Library/Extensions/)

# sudo kextstat | grep -i modem

if nothing crops up, you could try to see if kextload complains about 
them (I'm using InternalModemSupport, because that's what my laptop 
reports).  I would run the 'sync' command first, in case you have a 
vicious kernel panic / hang.

# sudo kextload -n InternalModemSupport.kext

if it doesn't complain, just load it up:

# sudo kextload InternalModemSupport.kext

you can update prebinding by running this from terminal.app (maybe a 
backup is in order first -- don't blame me :-):

# sudo update_prebinding -root / -force

you could also try something to make sure the /dev entries for it are 
there: on my machine, modem device entries seem to be /dev/cu.modem and 
/dev/tty.modem.

Make sure they're accessible to you by running these commands:

# sudo chmod 666 /dev/tty.modem
# sudo chmod 666 /dev/cu.modem

best of luck - here be dragons.
