| 224453 | 2004-03-23 03:34:00 | I have installed red hat 9.0 from a set of cd's as a second operating system. the system recognises the printer conected to the usb port but not the printer conected to the parallel port. but the bigroblem is the modem if i specifie /ttyS0 or ttyS1 and try to connect it tels me it is initialising the modem and that is all that happens. if i set it to either /ttyS3 or ttyS4 it returns with modem is busy and no go. how can fix this problem. |

| 224454 | 2004-03-23 03:49:00 | Is it a win modem? I had a similar problem as my internal modem was a winmodem. So I went out and bought an external modem. That did the trick. Linux recognised the external modem ok. | fatboy (5431) | ||

| 224457 | 2004-03-23 12:02:00 | Which COM port is the modem actually on (COM1 = ttyS0, COM4 = ttyS3). Try making a soft link like: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem |

| 224458 | 2004-03-24 02:46:00 | Almost all the software which uses a modem requires it to be " /dev/modem". /dev/modem is a symbolic link which should be set to point to the appropriate "hardware address". Linmodems ("Winmodems" need a driver,and, because the modem isn't on a physical serial port, might not be addressed by /dev ttyS0-3 ... Click on "the hat" and browse through the hardware setup options. |
