Please HELP. I am new to linux like very new. I tried to use linux a year
ago but was not able to configure my modem to it so scraped it when we
found out i was using a winmodem. I just bought an external modem, it is an
Aopen FM56-EX2_56000. It was installed before i installed linux but for
somereason Linux did not detect it during its install. I have tryed ln -s
/dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem i get the reply back telling me symbolic link has
been made. However when i do statserial to find out what IRQ and IO the
modem is on i get no response. I try to use minicom and after doing the
port set up i save as dfl then click exit and the screen goes to one "cant
stat dev/modem (no such file) tty-10.c: process 861 (minicom) use
obsolete/dev/cua1 - update software to use. then the next line is that
Says welcome to minicom 1.82 then the next line reads press ctrl -A Z for
help on special keys
but when i hit any other keys nothing happens it is like itlocks up if i do
it from my root before using startx the only way out is to shut off and on
the PC to get out of it. Can any one offer any suggestions on what I am
doing wrong or where I can find more information on how to get this program
talking with my modem. I work on line and really need to use the modem if i
am to use this program. Also please be gentle on me with your terminoligy
as I have said I am very new to linux. Also if you can suggest an easier
way to get my modem working I am all Ears (eyes)
