Sorry for the length of this message:
I'm having a bit of trouble getting PPP set up on my computer,
which I have recently set up as Linux only (previously it was setup
for dual-boot with W95). I asked on redhat-ppp-list and received
little answer, so thought I would try here as well.
One thing that was suggested to me there was that I may have an
IRQ problem. I checked and it seems that my modem IS PnP, so I
suppose there are probably steps I need to take to ensure that that
is setup properly. I was under the impression that if I could get my
modem to dial and connect correctly to the ISP using Minicom or
the like, there is not a problem with interrupts. What is the truth
here?
Anyway, the basic problem is that I can get a connection, but
cannot maintain one. I can post from /var/log/messages if needed.
But I thought that a first step might be to make sure the IRQ
problem doesn't exist. I've read through documentation which
accompanies isappptools and don't feel totally at ease beginning
this process...but am willing to give it a shot.
It suggests somewhere that I look in the BIOS and tell it that this is
NOT a PnP OS, but I cannot find that option specifically worded
like that. The only obviously PnP-related options I find are
Resources controlled by: (Auto/Manual)
Reset Configuration Data: (Enabled/Disabled)
PCI IRQ Activated By: (Level/Edge)
PCI IDE IRQ Map To: (ISA/PCI-SLOT1/PCI-SLOT2/PCI-SLOT3/
PCI-SLOT4/PCI-AUTO)
Any thoughts? Please let me know if I need to specify on anything
or give more details.
Thanks.
