[misterhouse-users] Serial_Item Question

[Jim D. <jim...@rc...>]

I'm trying to play with using a modem to dial outgoing calls.
I'm running on Linux and my modem is attached to a multiport
serial card.  The port in question is attached to /dev/ttyE3.

I cannot figure out how I associate /dev/ttyE3 to Serial_Item.

I'm doing this temporary hack ...

my ($DialNumber);

$v_voice_dial = new Voice_Cmd('Dial Number');
if (said $v_voice_dial) {
    print_log "modem: Dialing $DialNumber...";
    $DialNumber = "555-1212";
    $DialNumber = "ATDT" . $DialNumber;
    set $phone_modem $DialNumber;
}

In my log files, I get ...

Error, serial port for /dev/ttyE3 has not been set: data=ATDT555-1212

(lib/Serial_Item.pm, line 357)

I guess I don't understand how the Serial_Item object works.  Read
all the docs, still don't follow.  How do I attach to /dev/ttyE3 ??
