Hi! You have posted to _much_ too many groups , also to groups that aren't meant for your problem or that aren't public. Are you really reading all this groups? If not - you should _at least_ set the Followup-To: header to the group(s) you are reading. I stripped off all apana.* groups for I don't think they are available publically. On the other hand - at.linux is an Austrian Group and should be discussed in the german language. So you are wrong here either. I also stipped linux off for I don't really think there is a top-level group? For I don't know which group you are reading I didn't set a Followup-To: On 26 Nov 1999, Josiah Bryan <dws@wcoil.com> wrote: > 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.

(FYI, setserial doesnt acknowledge the ext. modem > on COM1). Anybody have any suggestions? Did you try wvdial? I think it should be part of the RedHat- Distribution, too. You just have to use insert the Username, the Password and the Phone-# into the config file. The program itself is quite intelligent and tries to get the rest by itself. HTH!
