Ok Com3 in windows equates to ttyS2 under Linux
However - AND THIS IS IMPORTANT!! - Your mouse will be
on ttyS0(zero) regardless of whether it is serial or USB,
so you may a conflict because Com1 = ttyS0.
Now you may be able to get it going by issuing setserial commands
from a console prompt as root.
The relevant setserial commands are as follows: (without the quotes)
'setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0x03e8 spd_vhi skip_test irq 9'
and
'setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A'
If entering these commands (as root) from your console has enabled
your to access the modem - then your modem has been linked to /dev/ttyS3
After you have proved the above - add those lines to the end of
/etc/rc.d/rc/local so that they are executed when your system restarts.
But I have a feeling that this may well be a winmodem, and this may
not solve your problem.
Boot to windows, Control Panel --> System --> Devices. Do you have
a device there called HCL?
Open up Control Panel --> Devices --> Modems. Select your modem from
the list, select Properties, then More Info toward bottom of the panel.
In the raft of info which is displayed after a minute or so, do you
see the string 'HCL' ?
If the answer to EITHER of the questions is Yes - then you have a
winmodem! And you may be better off to go out and obtain an external
modem - at least then you will have a modem which will operate in
ANY computing environment.
A side effect of this is that, with Winter coming up you will be
able to run competitions on the ponds to see who can skim a winmodem
the furthest <grin>
Try the above and keep us posted. We'll deal with accessing your ISP
on the next round. OK?
Cheers
