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?
