OFF TOPIC: oxymoron, was Re: Hardware Modems
Cliff You present a correct definition for rhetoric, but my use was not as a classical rhetorical device. The etymology I presented is correct. Military intelligence is often called an oxymoron. If you have been in the military, if you have seen the way they (indeed the way most rigid bureaucracies work) you will inderstand that military intelligence is indeed an oxymoron, in the root sense of moronic brilliance. Besides, intelligence as used here is an inflation of words; intelligence is used to mean information. Existence of an object does not prevent the words used to describe it from being an oxymoron. Indeed Giant Shrimp exist, but that certainly does not mean that the two words don't contradict each other and in the root sense. Giant shrimp is indeed an oxymoron. While I enjoy this, many won't and it is really off topic, so I encourage you to continue this by private email.

Re: Hardware Modems
On Thu, 17 Aug 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: windows, reaching the capacity of 115 Kbps (at least, windows say that). Take a look at their DOS readme section: Windows is lying, most likely :} It frequently reports the connection speed between the computer and the modem, rather than between the two modems. If the modem can run under DOS, it can almost certainly work under Linux. The problem of setting a modem to use a particular COM port is different from the WinModem problem in which the modem does not really use a COM port at all. There are a couple of things to try. First of which is to boot DOS, run the modem config program, and then load Linux with loadlin. This will leave the modem configured, as opposed to a real reboot, which is likely to erase the modem config. The second of which is to try to run the modem config program from within DOSemu. But for this you need to know all the port addresses used by the modem so you can give DOSemu direct access to them. I think this CONFIGP is a TSR that makes the connection between the (hardware!!!) modem and the COM port. Even if it is a TSR, it may not need to be one. You can use the DOS mem command mem /c/p or is it mem /c /p - to enumerate all the TSR's running in a DOS session. If it is not in the list produced by mem, it is not a TSR. My bet is that it is *not* a TSR - it just programs the modem registers to use a particular setup and then exits, since it has nothing else to do. It would be extremely difficult for a DOS TSR to manage a modem in the same way that Windows manages a Winmodem. This sort of program the registers program was very common a few years ago especially with sound cards, but modems too. I have no idea why any modern modem would use such a thing instead of being a Plug Play modem, but there you have it :} If it *is* a plug play modem, you need to configure it with the PnP tools - I bet pnpdump can see it. Isn't great? I spent a lot of money ($150) buying a hardware modem that cannot work under linux. That is a lot of money for a modem! Why didn't you get a cheaper one? In general it is a bad idea to pay any attention to what tech support tells you.
Re: Hardware Modems
I think this CONFIGP is a TSR that makes the connection between the (hardware!!!) modem and the COM port. Ungh, let me guess, this is a [pci,isa]-card - modem which *emulates* a serial-port to the OS? In older times you set the the port to emulate via a jumper, nowadays it´s most likely some register(s) getting set via the driver, so DOS- loadlin is definitely worth a try. If you´re brave enough you could take a look with a debugger at the TSR to see which register(s) get set, the rest should be relatively easy, IM(*very* humble)O. rw -- / Robert Waldner [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Phone: +43 1 89933 0 Fax x533 \ \KPNQwest/AT tech staff| Diefenbachg. 35 A-1150 Wien /
