Since rebooting my laptop I've had no luck with this thing. I can
modprobe snd-atiixp-modem and that works. 

But when I run this I get:
# error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1': Device or
resource busy
error: cannot setup device `modem:1'

[1]+  Exit 255                /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=USA --alsa

If I run fuser I get this:
# fuser -v -m /dev/ttySL0

                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/ttySL0:         root       2376 F.... gpm
                     root       2799 F.... prefdm
                     root       2866 F.... gdm-binary
                     username   3347 F.... bash
                     root       3382 F.... su
                     root       3391 F.... bash
                     username   3842 F.... bash
                     username   3885 F.... ssh
                     root       4265 F.... vmnet-natd

Somehow this worked right after I installed it, but now I can't get
anywhere. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
James
