I'm new to Linux, and I've been struggling with this a few days but run out of ideas on this one. I hate to tire what seems like an old subject, but I'm stuck. I'm trying to test my modem using minicom. However, when I open, I get the "Initializing Modem" dialog, but then I end up with a dead terminal. The cursor is in the middle of the screen but will not respond. The online/offline status in the lower right keeps alternating. Turning ECHO on in minicom allows me to see my commands, but they still are not sent to the modem. My modem is a Newcom 56efxC External connected to COM2, so it not a WINMODEM. My COM ports are set up with all of the normal defaults (COM2 on port 02F8 and irq 3). Here are some of the things I've tried: /dev/modem is linked to /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/cua1 (tried both--also for ttyS0 and cua0) Running setserial gives me everything except an unknown UART. I've tried setting the UART manually to 16550A then dialing. In my CMOS setup, I've set each Serial port for COM1/COM2 instead of auto (this was done prior to using Linux). I've tried /dev/ttyS1 /dev/cua1 and /dev/modem for device settings in minicom as well as a number of various INIT strings based on the modem manual (Hardware flow control is always on). My serial ports are connected right off of the motherboard (DELL Pentium 133). Would this be a PnP issue even with an external modem? If anyone can provide some insight as to what I could do, it would be appreciated.
