Go into kde systems control and see if you have a communications device
listed. Go into console and type: cat /proc/pci (assuming its a pci) and
see if you have a communications device listed.
If you can find one in either place, note the ioport number (the beginning of
the range) and the irq number.
Then in a terminal/konsole type:
setserial /dev/ttyS? uart 16550A port <yours> irq <yours> spd_vhi
(where ? is your and <yours> are yours.)
Then open kppp > setup. Fill in the blanks with your isp info. And choose
the same /dev/ttyS? used in setserial. Try it out.
Now here's the thing. Your modem could be on any of the serial ports from
ttyS0 to ttyS3. I don't know how to find out which it is on, except by
looking in Windows (which is often the same), or by experimentation (which is
what I do). (I'm not sure if either of the serial ports as reported in kde
systems control will match up to the modem before setserial or not. I mean
you could look at each of the serial ports and if any of them have the ioport
and irq as your communication device, try that one first. Note: com 1 is
ttyS0, com2 is ttyS1, com3 is ttyS2, and com4 is ttyS3.) Just try each:
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart .... and choose the same in kppp. Try it. Then
the next, and so on.... until you hit the right one.
Example setserial command:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0xc000 irq 5 spd_vhi
-s
P.S. Unless it's a software modem, then it will probably not work. If its
an isa, let me know, the process is a little different.
