Thanks for your prompt reply. At least I know I'm not chasing my tail
trying to get this to work, but now I have a couple more questions.
First, my Redhat is kernel 2.0.36. Is there a difference in kernels?
Second, as a novice, I don't know where to begin 'building them
myself'. Besides, if my drive is the source of my problems, how would
I get around it?
Thanks again for your help.

I'll go one more...
I purchased a 3COM internal v.90 two weeks ago at CompUSA. The box said
NOTHING about Plug-and-Pray, nothing about Winmodem, it had a picture of
the "modem" on the packaging (hey, there are jumpers!) and a model
number.
Bought it (model #5687, as marked on package), took it to my clients
office to install in an NT box. What's in the box? You got it...a
Windodem. TOTALLY different from the picture on the box. No jumpers,
straight plug-'n-pray. The model number was different from that on the
front of the box, too (model #0584).
I called 3COM corporate (1-800-638-3266, then connected to customer
service)...their reply was, as close to a direct quote as I can
remember:
"We don't make internal modems for legacy systems any longer. All of our
internal products are of the Winmodem type. As to the model number,
sorry that the model number on the box doesn't match that of the product
in the box. Look at the small sticker label on the SIDE of the box...as
part of the numbers with the serial number our technicians can tell you
the model number of the product in the box. No, sir, we will not be
changing the packaging to correct the picture or the model number. Take
it back to the store for a refund if you aren't satisfied."
I'm a small fish in the pond...only have 50 machines to care for. But I
meet a lot of other small fish and I'll tell them this true story. I'll
never buy another 3COM modem nor recommend them to my customers.

Since the POTS modem technology is pretty much at its peak, I'd say that you
should get some el cheapo external modems from Zoom or something like that
(No Diamond Supra stuff, they use cheapest parts, period)...

Hi.
1. read the manual. i never do it myself, but somestimes it
helps.
2. get yourself a dos boot disk.
3. boot dos with this disk.
4. on a utility disk that comes with the network card, there
should be a
diagnostics program or a setup program that runs under
dos.
5. use the apropriate setup tool to adjust half/full duplex,
i/o, irq, 10/100Mbps
and so on.
6. it should work, so.
7. it worked in my network.

Hmmm..... All I have in /etc/conf.modules is to turn off ipx and appletalk:
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
My sound configuration is stored in /etc/sndconfig, or something like that,
but it is definitely not in /etc/conf.modules.
Clarification though:
When I installed rh 5.2 with kernel 2.0.36, the oss/free that came with it was
3.8s2. It did saved the sound configuration in /etc/conf.modules. In the
process of getting my card to work, I installed 3.8s6 (which when uncompressed
is really 3.8s5). Installing 3.8s6 seemed to have ruined make menuconfig, in
that all I have then are just two options under the sound configuration menu:
"Sound card support" and "Additional low level drivers". No more, no less.
However, running make dep;make clean;zImage then prompts me, in line mode, for
the sound options (as if I was running make config but for the sound
configuration menu only). It asked me for the cards, etc. then asked me for
the IRQ, DMA, I/O during the make zImage stage, and it said it saved the
configuration in /etc/sndconfig.
Anyway, I can just copy my config from /etc/sndconfig

I'm sure my PCI modem (a rockwell FM65-RW) is not a winmodem (aka software
modem) as you can directly talk to it on Hyperterminal and obtain a connection
that way. It even has modes for working under DOS. The problem I have found
however is it conflicting a) with my 3Com Ethernet Card, b) Not being able to
find out which IO port the card wants on Linux (I know it is using IRQ 10
rather tha 3 or 4).
Is their a version of isapnp for pci buses that allows you to setup PNP PCI
cards?
Should PNP OS / Auto settings be set up in the BIOS?
Are the settings as last set in a working Win95 machine going to be the same
when you transplant the card into a linux box? My modem had two devices (The
Modem, IRQ 10, IO 0x3E8 and a PCI Modem Enumerator, IRQ 10, some meory
address in the 0xe00000 range). I've tried variations on these numbers using
setserial but have yet to have success on the linux box. BTW I'm testing by
listining for a result to echo ATH > /dev/cuan. Is their a better way of
talking to the COM ports? A direct terminal that is eas(ish) to setup?
Anyway more questions than answers.. sorry ;)
Alex.

I had a similar problem some months ago and did something to

After some tuning, my Linux server works ok, in details I:
- upgraded the DPT kernel
- moved the DPT board to another PCI slot (it appeared that
DPT conflicted with Eepro100 network card)
- reset main board, DPT board and AIC controller to default

set up DOS / Win95 to find the settings for it. I thought the 2.2.x (2.2.1 in
my case) kernel had some kind of extended support for these devices? I know
that my network card has "stolen" IRQ 5, so I can't use standard settings.
How can I find the IRQ from Linux? Do I have to set it up in the BIOS?
I have checked the HOWTOs as usual, but I think a lot has changed in the 2.2
kernel?

Also, since there are only a few chips being used, I
wonder if Lucent or Rockwell or Pctel or whoever
has the card assemblers under NDA. More often
than not, the chip guys provide the drivers (as in the
graphics IC and sound IC world) and they might be
aftraid that releasing the driver source would be the
same as releasing the hardware API, thus lowering
the entry barriers for reverse-engineering attempts.
So, the modem board manufacturers might not be
able, legally, to give away the source for drivers.
After all, if one brand of controller-less, DSP-less
PCI modem became famous as the low-cost Linux
modem, it might sell in the hundreds of thousands
of units.

Subject: Backup recommendations?

Hi all!
I'm currently investigating what kind of backup solution I should get for
our machines at home. I've a lot of stuff there I don't want to loose in a
disk-crash...
I've come to the conclusion that a SCSI-DAT (I've got SCSI-disks) would be
the best solution, but also quite expensive. So, I was looking at Iomega
Ditto drives as they're a lot cheaper. The 1/2GB versions seem to work
very well, but are the Max-versions supported? How about the internal
version; is it IDE, floppy or SCSI. I'd prefer SCSI.
Any other ideas as to what could be a good solution for backups? We've
three machines at home, but only two need to be backed up, so the datasize
is about 2 * 1GB. Speed really doesn't matter, as the backups will be made
while we're at work.
I'd appreciate any hints as to what could be a good solution.
Regards,
Chakie

I have Slackware, but had the same problem.
ftp.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries has a more recent version of Xfree
that does support the Diamond Card, or at least the Rendition chipset.
Download all the required files and the XSVGA server, and use the extract
utility that you can get there too to unzip and untar them. Run preinst.sh
then use XF86Setup, and hopefully you have your owners manual for the card
and know the horizontal and vertical refresh rates and max resolution of you
monitor. That should be enough to get you through the setup. Finally, run
postinst.sh and it should work. BEFORE YOU TRY THIS, I ahve to warn you that
I still can't get X to start with startx. I got through the configuration OK
but it won't start. Am trying to figure out why.
