Hi everyone, I'm an experienced Linux hacker, but my modem is really annoying me. Its fine under Win95, but will not work for Linux 2.x. I used to use it with a 1.2.8 kernel(slackware/infomagic dist.) but it doesn't want to work now??? Its an internal and is set for COM3(/dev/cua2) and IRQ 5 on the card. I run setserial to inform Linux of this and enable hardware handsaking on the serial port with "stty crtscts </dev/cua2". Using minicom, seyon or modem-stats I get no response or such a lag(30 seconds) just for it to echo my typing. But it still doesn't do anything. I can't see any IRQ or base address conflicts and /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts don't show conflicts. Any suggestions??? This is preventing me from doing everything from Linux as automated cron jobs. I'm stuck with Win95 until I can get this working. Help!! The only thing I can think of is either the serial driver for my infomagic developer's resources - slackware installation is no good(I can't believe that), or having modules in my kernel is preventing it from working somehow. That's all thats changed. Paul. ---------------- paul@vertige.demon.co.uk http://www.vertige.demon.co.uk
