Just installed a new faxserver for use on isdn lines. We had two isdn 4 
lines installed sometime ago to send faxes bypassing the pbx. When 
plugging the modem onto the usb port the kernel messages shows that  the 
modem has been seen and has been giving an address.

Jan 26 12:27:16  faxserver kernel hub.c: new USB device 00:13.1-1, 
assigned address 5
Jan 26 12:27:16 faxserver st541: found adapter VendorId 0483, productId 
4810, LEDs 2
Jan 26 12:27:16 HiSax: Card 1 Protocol EDSS1 id=st5481_usb_0 (0)
Jan 26 12:27:16 HiSax: DDS1 Rev. 1.1.4.1
Jan 26 12:27:16 HiSax: 2 channels added
Jan 26 12:27:16 HiSax: MAX_WAITING_CALLS added

When plugging into an other usb connector a differend address appears. 
But I --can't-- find any /dev/??? to use with the modem. Tried minicom 
and hylafax on several devices but can find the device the modem is on. 
Also tried to make links from some devices to /dev/modem, but no luck.

Is anybody using usb modems? The sever runs suse 9.

Tia,
