Hi fred,

In one of your earlier mails you said, I could just start using the 
modem (provided /dev/modem is defined) and you were right. It works!

What remains is: what *is* kudzu for? I'll sees what I can find in the 
man page or other documentation I can find.

Everyone, thanks for helping me.

Guus.
