| 199212 | 2003-12-13 01:32:00 | There's a mini terminal (forget the name -- have never needed it ;-) which talks through serial ports. Basically, sending "AT" should get "OK" back if the selected port and the modem are working properly. What about using "diald" --- that should work the same? But I rather suspect that your "fixes" might have changed enough defaults that the "automatic user fiendly wizards" are now non-functional. I've done this myself. The quickest solution is to do a reinstall. :D I've often done that in the early stages of working with a new version. It's easier than trying to undo everything I've done. :D I'm nearly at that stage on RH9 ... I'm playing with IRda ... and it is interesting. A standard thing like a modem on an external port should have needed no intervention from you. The fact that it did indicates that something is rotten in the state of Denmark. |

Minicom. pppsetup (linux.tucows.com) is also a handy wee program for setting up modems and dial-up-networking. Works from a shell too, so there is no need for X11 if you swing that way :) |

| 199214 | 2003-12-13 07:02:00 | Have done quite a bit of searching and have tried "lsof /dev/ttyS*" and "wvdialconf mymodem.conf" with no joy. Have noticed that there is no "/etc/serial.conf" and I have the impression there should be one so if someone could give me a listing of what is in there's I will create it. I had the impression that running "setserial" was mean't to create it. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 199215 | 2003-12-13 07:09:00 | The fact that the original install left the modem non operational doesn't give me much hope with a reinstall and while I have changed things they are back to there original sttings. As well as that I like to know what is going on so that I learn and hopefully remember the next time. :p | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 199216 | 2003-12-14 00:55:00 | How about a reinstall with RH9? :D Do I get the impression that Fedora is a beta release? |

| 199217 | 2003-12-14 01:01:00 | No I understand it to be a finale | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 199218 | 2003-12-14 05:43:00 | What I did was change the bios setting for com1 from irq4 3F8 to auto and the modem is working ok. ttyS0 is still pointing to irq 4 3F8 so I don't realy understand why it wasn't working before. In RH9 even after altering a few settings from connect to the actual dial took quite a while whereas with Fedora it is instant. |

| 199219 | 2003-12-15 01:34:00 | Magic. :D Maybe setting the port explicitly in the BIOS makes it a "legacy DOS" port, whereas "auto" makes it part of the Plug and Pray system. I'd expect working/non-working to go th other way.:D |
