Problem using USB to Serial adapter(GUC232A) for a serial modem

Hello

I have IOGEAR GUC232A USB Serial(DB9 pin) adapter connected to the USB
port of my Linux (2.4.19) machine and a MultiTech serial modem. The
adapter works on Windows as I could issue commands to the modem
through HyperTerminal.

The Linux machine detects the adapter when it is plugged in. The
modules loaded are the following:
usb-ohci.o
usbcore.o
usbserial.o
pl2303.o


But I am not able to see anything when connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 thru
minicom

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shanthi.
