I'm having no end to my troubles getting my ISA PnP modem working. It's
not a Winmodem; I had it working with Slackware a few months ago.. but I
just can't get it working with Mandrake / KDE. I have tried every
combination I could think of: setting the jumpers for PnP with PnP OS
both enabled and disabled in BIOS, setting the jumpers for particular
IRQ/COM with PnP OS both enabled and disabled in BIOS... nothing but
trouble. I've mostly been using Kppp, and when everything seems to be
set correctly (/dev/cua2 or /dev/ttys2), I usually get a "Modem is
busy"... occasionally I get "Modem is not responding" though this is
usually when I've gotten desperate and just go through the list of
devices at random in kppp setup.
I normally have PnP OS off in BIOS - this doesn't affect any of my
hardware in Win95, but if it's turned on my sound card won't work in
Linux... my modem refuses to work either way. Isapnp runs at startup,
and is finding both of my PnP devices (modem / soundcard), but the modem
refuses to work. If the jumpers aren't set to PnP, I can't get the
modem to work in Windows so if it's possible to keep them there I'd like
to.
I've tried everything I could think of, including setserial...
unfortunately, I have a feeling I'm using setserial incorrectly. As far
as I can tell, I'm following the man pages correctly... but I guess I
don't trust myself. Anyway, if it matters it's a Cheyenne(?) 56K/v.90.
Looks like it has a Rockwell chipset. Any help (esp w/ setserial) would
be appreciated.
