This is a great newsgroup !- I'll check into all your suggestions this week,
and let you know if it works.
I'm new to Linux, and need to figure out how to change Linux settings-
This is a Linux compatible modem- it's NOT a winmodem- these instructions
are off Actiontec's website :
How do I install the modem for Linux?
A: Log on to Linux as root. Then type the following command:
# cat /proc/pci
The following is an example of information to look for:
Bus 0, device 12, function 0:
Communication controller: Lucent (ex-AT&T)
Microelectronics Unknown device (rev 0).
Vendor id=11c1. Device id=480.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11.
Master Capable. No bursts. Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0800000
[0xe0800000].
I/O at 0xa000 [0xa001].
I/O at 0x9800 [0x9801].
I/O at 0x9400 [0x9401].
Write down the first I/O range. The example shows that I/O is 0xa000. The
values may vary, depending on the system. Then type
# setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xa000 spd_vhi skip_test auto_irq autoconfig
and hit enter.
If there are no errors, then type
# setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A
and hit enter.
Select /dev/ttyS3 as the device in whichever dial-up communication program
you're using. It should now initialize and operate.
Edit the rc.local or rc.serial file located in the /etc/rc.d directory. Add
the two setserial lines at the end of the file. Save and reboot the system.
If you are using the S.u.S.E. distribution, this can be done by adding the
command to /sbin/init.d/boot.local or by changing /sbin/init.d/serial
according to your needs.
If you are using the Debian distribution, go to the /etc/rcS.d directory.
Edit the file called S30setserial and add the two serserial lines.
Thanks......Ross
