Isn't this one of those s/w modems? I think you will need to buy the
"conextant" drivers or use the NDIS wrapper with the windows driver.
http://www.linuxant.com
I didn't think it was but you maybe right. I read that a great many
conextant modems were compatible which is why I went with that modem. I
will have to double check to make sure this one is hardware modem, can
you tell by looking at the board?what would i look for? Would
ndiswrapper give me all the functionality i need here? I have a somewhat
large collection of internal modems at my disposal. Does anyone know of
an internal modem that is compatible with linux? It doesn't have to be
red hat based linux , though that is my preference. I appreciate the help.
Max
I think that the easiest way to tell is to visually inspect the board.
The ones that have a large amount of components, in my experience, are
h/w modems.
Also, if you put the modem into your box and you can see a TTY appear in
the boot dmesg(dmesg|grep -i tty), then linux has recognized and
assigned it to a serial interface and you should be good to go.
Sean
My modem is recognized. It is a different card than before.
$dmesg | grep -i tty
console [tty0] enabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
00:05: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
then :
$wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<Info>: Device or resource busy
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0
ttyS1<Info>: Device or resource busy
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1
ttyS2<Info>: Device or resource busy
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S2
ttyS3<Info>: Device or resource busy
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S3
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
This is where i got stuck before. I am not using setserial properly. I
can execute the command but i am assigning the wrong values i think but
my syntax is ok or I would get an error from bash. One thing,at least,
is clear, i do not understand the setserial command or what to set the
values to.
Thanks,
Max
I see two serial ports, does your machine have two physical serial
ports. Are they conflicting with your modem perchance?
Sean
I have one serial port on the back of my computer. The usual assortment
of audio jacks , Firewire, ps2 ports, and parallel port.
Is the fact that both serial ports show 'serial8250' significant? Is
that the same device on both ports?
