[techtalk] Modem not being ID

[Stacie Turner]

Karina and all:

OK, I still have not gotten my stupid plug and play internal modem to work,
and unless someone has a really good idea, I'm giving up and trying an
external.  But here is what I did, perhaps you will have more luck with it,
or maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong:

first I used isapnp tools:

/sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf

then uncommented one choice in the .conf file.  (For me the choice that
didn't give me an error message when I rebooted happened to be IRQ 3 port
0x3e8)

then:

setserial /dev/ttyS2 IRQ 3 port 0x3e8  (with the device and resources of
your choice)

but now, although the machine still insists it can't find a modem.  

Sigh.  I really just wanted a machine that wouldn't crash all the time.  And
although it never ever crashes, I can't get on the internet, which, given
what I do, means all I really use linux for is mahjong.

Hello Stacie,

thanks 

I have a V.90 56k modem, seposed to be "standard" protocol... 
I am not too sure if it is Plug n Pray but I believe it is. I have no
problem Identifying it under NT and Win98... 

Any help you can provide would be great..

karina

Hi Karina:

Your problem sounds suspiciously close to mine.  Make sure you don't have a
winmodem, and, once you eliminate that, check if your modem is plug and
play.  If it is I can help you about half way through the nightmare that is
a plug and play modem with Linux.

Hello all,

Linux Newbe... I am having problems Identifying my Modem.

I use Modemtool and select ttys0
Then I use wvdial and it tells me it does not Identify the Modem.

I am kind of at a loss,
is there a way to check the PCMCIA port is linked to COM 1.

Is there a way to check to see if the COM Ports are active.

any help would be great.


Karina
