I did a recommended install of Mandrake 7.0. Still No modem.
What is funny.. well Not really funny...
During the install it sets up the PPP . I tell it where the modem is . COM
2=ttsy1. I get NO errors during the install.
When I started up I go into Root. I try the KPPP dial up.
It says the modem is busy.
I checked the /dev/modem file... I tried to do an edit ... AHA there is
NOTHING there!
EMPTY file.
I checked Proc/ttsy1... same thing... NOTHING there
Checked /dev/ttsy1 NOTHING
Be aware I am a rookie to alot of things about Linux. I have always used my
Win box as a gateway. This is the box I want to be LINUX. So if I get the
modem to dial up and connect.... then I can work on the IpChain and use
LINUX as my gateway box.
I would be willing to call a Mandrake support person Long distance so I can
get this resolved
it is a USR sportster 56k v.90 data/fax/voice modem
it is on COM2
I/O is 02f8-02ff
Interrupt is 03
This is an internal modem
Thanks for any help on the elimination... or at least the reduction of
windows in this little wannabe geeks world.
Take Care
Chris
