[NTLUG:Discuss] Can't get cardmgr to start - help!

[Bobby Sanders]

Slackware based distribution. 2.2.19 kernel.

Was running a script that called for dialing modem.  Before it started
to dial I grabbed a pcmcia modem card and stuffed it in the slot.  Don't
_ever_ do that!  Stepped on the /dev/pts devices.  Recreated them.
Now cardmgr is not running and

# cardmgr

doesn't seem to do anything.

What do I do now except reread everything I have already read?

Thanks in advance.

Bobby
