| 67759 | 2002-08-05 02:05:00 | Thanks for all the help, i have run into another problem, my HP machine has the modem on com 3, but when I try and set it up under mandrake it says modem not found, (ttsy2) = com 3, but if I put it on com 1 under linux it says the modem isn't responding. | Nigel Thomson (629) | ||
| 67760 | 2002-08-05 04:33:00 | Have a look with dmesg to find where the modem is "seen" by Linux. Then use the configuration utility to set up the link to it. I take it that you haven't got a mouse on COM1. Remember, the IRQs are shared between COM1 and 3, COM2 and 4, so you can have devices on only one of each pair. Most communications software will actually use "/dev/modem" which is a link to the actual hardware device. You can make the link yourself with (I can never remember the order of actual/logical devices -- use "ln --help")but it's like ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem and if there is already a /dev/modem, you will need to rm /dev/modem first. |
