Yet another cry for help.
It appears that the built-in modem on my Bondi Blue iMac was not detected
by the usual automated detection routines. I'm presuming that its one of
the devices listed under harddrake as unknown, but that isn't terribly
useful to me.
I don't mind this so much, as I plan to use the machine as a firewall and
NAT machine without X running. However it also appears that the various
serial ports don't answer with anything resembling modem activity, or even
identified ports (setserial /dev/ttyS0, ttyS1, and /dev/modem all report
unknown UART, etc.). My questions are firstly should I expect to see the
modem reported as a serial device, and if so, which serial driver has
anyone had any success with? The iMac presently loads serial drivers with
the following message:
Serial driver version 5.05b (2001-05-03) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT
SHARE_I
RQ SERIAL_PCI enabled
I'll send the mac unknown elements direct to the harddrake support people.
Any hints useful. I have to say that this is more entertaining than the
quick and easy install on traditional PC hardware, where most of the
glitches are well ironed out.
Damian.
