|My modem is an internal 33.6, with Rockwell Chipset and this is my
|'seterial' configuration for the port the modem is:
|
|/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: 16550, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
| Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
| closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
| Flags: spd_normal skip_test
Here is mine for the 2.2.9 kernel and ppp-2.3.8:
/sbin/setserial -b /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x3E8 irq 5
Your equivalent would use irq 4 and uart 16550A for a 16550A UART. The
16550 UART didn't work very well and they are rare; the 16550A quickly
replaced it. Since you are using an older computer the UART could be a
16550, although a 16450 would be more likely. If it is a 16550 then the
problem could simply be the buggy UART.
However, if it is a 16550 and worked with the same configuration and modem
under the 2.0.33 kernel, then I'm unable to explain why it won't work under
the 2.2.9 kernel.
