Ok I have checked the usb to serial adaptor and it is recognised 
as /dev/ttyUSB0.

So I un-initialized the modem, and got my computer to transceiver control 
back.

Then I initialized the modem and USB serial port, immediately I lost control 
of the transceiver.  So it isn't my serial card.  Permissions?   Some other 
Linux feature ???

Lennart,  are you using RTS/CTS on both your devices?

Now that I have a free Serial port, I am going to connect my old Sportster 
modem and see if it works.  Now to find that old manual and see how to 
configure an old fashioned modem, unused for 6 or so years.

I used to use 4 serial port devices but this digital modem [ For the other Ham 
here; a Rigblaster Plus ] is the new piece of equipment.  No other Linux hams 
on two lists are using the exact combo's of equipment that I have.  Windows 
users with this gear combo are reporting no problems with Serial ports.

I seem to attract problems,  sigh.
