I had the same response from Mdk 7.2 as you outlined above Roger, the
key is to add a setserial line... mine looks like this:
# setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550a port 0xa400 irq 4
(of course you will have to use your 0x? and irq number)
when it works you can
add the above setserial line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local ...it will work
on bootup thereafter.
check it with this:
[root@localhost olly]# setserial -a /dev/ttyS3
/dev/ttyS3, Line 3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xa400, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal
Rather than try to recreate a complicated procedure in this mail to
give you the particulars on finding out all this information...I am
going to send you an article written by Bill Unrah....who knows more
about the modem setups than anyone else on the planet 8-).(my
opinion).,,, to the addr you have listed above..
this article really helped me....thanks Bill Unrah.
don't pay any attention to the fact that Linux says you have a
winmodem.....is this particular case it is speaking with a forked
tongue <grin>.
look for another mail with Bills article.
later
