i have a version of RedHat 5.2....recantly installed on my 400MHz IBM aptiva
box on a 3.2GB HD...my problem is that I can't seem to get any of my modems
to be acknowledged by linux....I have a PnP on COM2 and a PnP/Jumperless on
COM3, and I have an ext. modem on COM1, all diffrent phone lines, of course.
I can't get linux to recognize any modems, either in minicom, dip, or
anything else. the mose i have gotten out of linux is that it will
acknowledge UARTs on ttyS1 and ttyS2, using the setserial command. When I
attempt to use minicom, adjusting it to use directly /dev/ttyS1 or
/dev/ttyS2 it just freezes the whole system, and I have to do a
CTRL-ALT-DELL to reboot. (FYI, setserial doesnt acknowledge the ext. modem
on COM1). Anybody have any suggestions?
