In the meantime I have coombed one (Mdk) system installed really from first to last byte - for even vaguely PPP-/Modem-relevant config files - and tried all thinkable variations: _no_way_ to have it work, in console mode, with the setting of /dev/ttyS3 (COM4) with IRQ 7.
Running "setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 7" duely results in a correct indication using "setserial /dev/ttyS3 -G" but this provenly does not bring about the dialler, and pppd to actually use the correct interrupt number - they stubbornly continue with the build-in wrong irq 3 and promptly fail. _Only_ work-around is running kppp (from running X, and having the "setserial" command run before) - then, a mere modem query succeeds even in setting the right values, and up to a next reboot, for using the modem from the console ! I really would like to find an explanation for this. // Heimo Claasen //<revobild at revobild dot net>// Brussels 2002-12-31 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
