After upgrading my video and sound cards, my machine decided that Com2 is 
obsolete. Took me two days to find that the fault is not 
1)on motherboard
2)in cables (external modem)
3)in modem itself
Then I tried mouse on this port and Mouse.ini reported Serial4 (Thank you 
DOS).
In meantime I deleted soft links from /dev/modem to cua1; cua2; cua3
which deleted all those files from /dev directory.
{don't ask about backup - it's obvious}
Question: what now?
a) reinstall all
b) can those files and the devices they represent be reconstructed - this 
information is very vague in the books that I have.
So excuse me for addressing this group through Windows but such is life.
Stanislaw.
