Hi, everyone,
I am configuring a couple of Linux (formerly Windows) boxen for a
friend. I always use an external modem on my desktop and a PCMCIA modem
in my laptops, so I've never run into a problem with a modem before.
Now I have.
System #1 has an IBM ISA PNP modem. If I cat /proc/isapnp I see that it
has been assigned IRQ 9. It is listed as "inactive". It doesn't
respond on /dev/ttys0 - /dev/ttys2
System #2 has a US Robotics ISA PNP modem. /proc/isapnp shows it as
"active" with an IRQ of 5. It also is non-responsive on any standard
serial port.
I do know about setserial, but I have to somehow know which serial port
they are assigned to in order to use that, or worse, I need to know how
to assign them to a given port and memory address range. My Google
searches haven't helped. The ISA PNP how-to I read is very informative
for the 2.2 kernel.
Both boxes are running Red Hat Linux 7.3.
Thanks in advance for any help.
All the best,
Caity
