Hello,
Thanks for the input, I forgot that I myself had started the "at boot" thing,
at least it doesn't take an age (or 45 secs., whichever comes first) to boot
[although any information on how to teach it to not try to start the sound
(since it can't seem to detect the soundcard) would be helpful].
According to tuxmobil.org/, the card "works" (on one hand good news, but on
the other hand, it ain't working). Since the "tips" page on that site
mentioned unknown modems, and my modem is under the unknow/other rubric on
the hardware lookup, I thought that I might need to:
"put the modified output of cardctl ident into /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
accordingly and bind the serial_cs module to it."
this sounds like a lead until cardctl ident returns "no product info
available" (a more astute person might have espected this since all the "ATI"
values were returned as blank, but hope springs eternal). cardctl status
says that both function 0 and function 1 on socket 0 are "[ready]," and I
don't beleive I have two sockets, I have hope still, proving the point.
My newest theory invoves the "device" section of the kppp options, the only
time I got a modem query to do anything other than reply that the modem is
"busy" is when I select /dev/ttyS2 as the device. I notice that there are
many, many other options, could this be a clue?
With an advance of thanks,
James Henry Maiewski
