Let me add my two cents worth here. I have been
shopping out a new Linux system (see thread "Newbi vs Linux:
Comment on this system"). What i have found is that there
are at least three kinds of modems out there (not two).
THere is the usual "Real modem" This modem looks
like a UART (or serial port) to the system. This type of
modem need _NOTHING_ to work with any system. It
doesn't matter every OS knows how to send charecters
out (and get them in) to a serial port. Windows may
install an INI file for these modems, but in most case
it is just an ASCII text file containing the init string for
the modem. A veryation of this type is the Plug and Play
modem. Plug and play simply sets the hardware parameters,
such as IO address and interupt. After PnP has done it's
thing, the modem acts like any other real modem.
The second type of modem is the well known and dispised
Win-Modem or HSP (Host Signal Processing) Modem. THese
modems are pretty well useless since they require that
the CPU do a lot of the processing work done by the
controler chip on a real modem. There is also no standard
(that I could discover) for the hardware interface to these
modems.
A third type of modem is the cause of much confusion.
It appears to be a real modem because it has a controler,
but it only seems to work with windows. I call this a
DSP based modem. Althought I realize that is bad choice
of terms. What we have here is a modem that has a
controler, but it is based on a generic DSP chip.
THe DSP handles many of the tasks that the driver of
a HSP (or Win-modem) would have to handle. But
the hardware interface to the system is not standard,
in other words, it doesn't look like a UART. The
keyword to look for here is "Virtual UART" or
"Virtual 16550". Now what does that mean? I'll try
to tell you. I'm a bit hazy on the programing aspects.
What happens is that a vertual device driver is written
for windows that places protection on certian IO addresses,
specificly, the IO addresses for the chosen com port
for the modem. Now, normaly a UART would live at those
addresses, But this type of modem has no UART. Now
when a program attempts to access the non-existing
UART at the protected IO addresses, it causes a trap
to accoure. The trap causes the virtual device driver
to kick in. The function of the UART is then emulated
in software. As far as an application is concerned,
there is a UART at that address (except that the
responce time may be a bit off), but in reality there
is none. Thus the "Virtual UART". This modem
isn't a winmodem or HSP modem per-se, but it
won't work in Linux either.

Subject: Recommendations for a new system.
Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 23:01:19 -0500
I am planning on getting a new system, and am looking for advice.
I plan on using RedHat Linux 6.0.
I don't want to spend tons, but I want good performance (like everyone
else...)
I also want linux-supported hardware, because I really hate banging my
head against
the wall trying to get something to work that will never work.
I want:
AMD K2 3D 400 MHZ
Socket-7 100MHZ Board
Maybe with 8 MB video and sound integrated
(I don't know about this memory sharing thing, that is, if it is
good or bad),
Otherwise, a decent video card and sound card.
64 MB or more (maybe 96?) RAM
CD Rom
3-4 GB HD
Network card
Case, FDD, CPU fan
Most importantly, I may get a TV tuner card, and since my current board
is incompatible with every TV card I have tried, I want to make sure my
new
one isn't.
So, which boards are good AND supported under linux?
What about a cheap source for these things?
I have seen what I want, with linux installed, for about $900-$1000.
But I know
I can get it for $400-$500 somewhere. But where? And what components?
Thanks

to access a floppy try typing in
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
this will mount the floppy disk
to access the floppy then type
cd /mnt/floppy
But as for learning Linux a good starter book is Linux for Dummies, don't be
offended by the title, it's well written and it gives you a good handle on
the basics.
Good luck bud.

Anything external is ideal for Linux. Read the box of the modem and if it
says that you need a Pentium xxx then don't get it.

Ok I have the rpm transferred to the /usr directory. I try running rpm -Uvh
***.rpm (where *** is file name) in the usr directory, logged in as root and
I get a failure message. It says that there is a conflict with xsvga server
or something similar. Any tips?
