   I did not have to do anything to my kernel.  I did have to hook up a USB to   
   serial conversion cable to get my USR Sportster to work.  Then all I had to   
   do was tell sexpots which device to listen to.  Sexpots answers the modem   
   and then makes the telnet connection to the board, connecting the modem   
   call to my dosemu session that runs my DOS bbs.   
      
   I set the device in the sexpots.ini file.  For my system, it   
   is /dev/ttyUSB0.   
      
   Before I went 64-bit, I was not even using sexpots.  I had dosemu listening   
   to the device, and it would pass the connection directly to Binkleyterm.
