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.
