For those who where following the saga of my modem on my IPCOP box:
Following Mr Sawtell's suggestion 'dmesg | grep tty':
ttyS04 at port 0xe400 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
Since /dev/ttyS4 would correspond to COM5 in DOSspeak, and the web interface
to set up the dailer in IPCOP only offers COM1 - COM4, I did this:
cd /dev
rm ttyS3
ln -sf ttyS4 ttyS3
After that it worked!
This is a PCI modem with a real UART, not some lousy winmodem.
It cost me $45 (New Zealand Dollars 45NZD = ~25USD AFAIK).
From /proc/pci:
Bus 0, device 18, function 0:
Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics Venus Modem (V90,
56KFlex) (rev 0).
IRQ 10.
Master Capable. No bursts. Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfedffc00 [0xfedffcff].
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe4ff].
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe8ff].
I/O at 0xecc8 [0xeccf].
Now if the stupid web interface allowed me to specify any device eg
'/dev/ttyS4' instead of just a dropdown box with only the four options COM1
to COM4, I would have had this thing going without so much wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
