| 102916 | 2002-12-08 02:42:00 | Yep. :D If you've got a mouse on COM1, the modem won't work. Either shift the mouse to COM2, or change the modem's IRQ to 5, if you can ... Looks encouraraging. The modem is detected. You will need to make a link from /dev/modem to /dev/cua3 . (ln -s /dev/cua3 /dev/modem). I think you'll have a script (modemcfg, or something like that) to do that. Try "apropos modem", and browse through the HOWTOs. |

| 102917 | 2002-12-08 02:53:00 | to change the IRQ is it simply a matter of keeping it on com 3 and putting a jumper on pin 3 so the jumper layout would be: 2, 3, 4, 7 ?? correct me if i am wrong i have never played with jumpers or IRQs before Thanks |

| 102918 | 2002-12-08 02:56:00 | Probably ... just try it, and boot up again. It will either work or not.:D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 102919 | 2002-12-08 03:23:00 | SAys exactly the same as above, so I guess that means i have got something wrong? | Nigel Thomson (629) | ||
| 102920 | 2002-12-08 03:25:00 | I take that back mouse has stopped working | Nigel Thomson (629) | ||
| 102921 | 2002-12-09 04:48:00 | Umm. :-( Can you move the mouse to COM2? (sometimes you can get around the 25/9 pin problem by swapping the MB end of the cables). Or give the modem IRQ7? ... Or in the BIOS, disable COM2 then make the modem COM2, with IRQ3. I've usually found that jumpers are good things ... except for the odd cases when a jumper is missing the metal bit inside which actually makes the contacts. :D |
