I have added Startech.com I/O CARD 4 port PCI 16550 Serial Card Model:PCI4s550n If this makes a difference: On my previous machine DELL I have installed the same card but only the 2 Ports card. It is working perfectly on upgraded etch with ttyS14,15. The difference in installation between my old machine and a new one is that the card was added after install of the system on DELL, VS in current system HP I have installed the card before system was installed. > the output of these commands: > > # cat /proc/devices faxserver:/home/xxx# cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 6 lp 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 14 sound 29 fb 99 ppdev 116 alsa 128 ptm 136 pts 180 usb 189 usb_device 226 drm Block devices: 1 ramdisk 2 fd 3 ide0 7 loop 8 sd 65 sd 66 sd 67 sd 68 sd 69 sd 70 sd 71 sd 128 sd 129 sd 130 sd 131 sd 132 sd 133 sd 134 sd 135 sd 254 device-mapper > # for i in $(find /proc -name \*serial\*) > do > echo '***' $i > [ -f "$i" ] && cat "$i" || ls -l "$i" > done *** /proc/tty/driver/serial serinfo:1.0 driver revision: 0: uart:16550A port:000003F8 irq:4 tx:0 rx:0 CTS|DSR|CD|RI 1: uart:16550A port:00001010 irq:201 tx:0 rx:0 RTS|DTR 2: uart:16550A port:00001018 irq:201 tx:0 rx:0 CTS|DSR 3: uart:16550A port:00001020 irq:201 tx:0 rx:0 > # (lspci ; lspci -n) | sort faxserver:/home/xxxx# (lspci ; lspci -n) | sort 00:00.0 0600: 8086:2580 (rev 04) 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 04) 00:02.0 0300: 8086:2582 (rev 04) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04) 00:02.1 0380: 8086:2782 (rev 04) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82915G Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 0604: 8086:2660 (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 0604: 8086:2662 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 0c03: 8086:2658 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 0c03: 8086:2659 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 0c03: 8086:265a (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.3 0c03: 8086:265b (rev 03) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 0c03: 8086:265c (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1e.0 0604: 8086:244e (rev d3) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev d3) 00:1e.2 0401: 8086:266e (rev 03) 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.0 0601: 8086:2640 (rev 03) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FR (ICH6/ICH6R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 03) 00:1f.1 0101: 8086:266f (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 0101: 8086:2651 (rev 03) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FW (ICH6/ICH6W) SATA Controller (rev 03) 05:04.0 0700: 9710:9845 (rev 01) 05:04.0 Serial controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9845 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01) 40:00.0 0200: 14e4:1677 (rev 01) 40:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01) > # lsof | grep ttyS faxserver:/home/xxxx# lsof | grep ttyS faxserver:/home/xxxx# faxaddmodem Serial port that modem is connected to [ttyS0]?
