I've been using a Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/modem PCMCIA card for a couple of years, but only the Ethernet part. I recently tried to get the modem part working, and have been unable to do so.
I used minicom, and I see that the modem responds to the ATZ command, and it dials audibly when I give an ATX1DTnnnnnnn command, but it does not connect to the other modem. I hear nothing in response. Dialing the number manually does produce a response. It eventually times out with a NO CARRIER message. I was able to get it to dial once, by unplugging the Ethernet cable, but never again, with or without the cable plugged in. This is under Woody on an Inspiron 7000, running 2.4.9. The serial_cs and xirc2ps_cs modules get loaded when the card is inserted. Does anyone have any clues? Any ways to debug it other than minicom? -- Neil L. Roeth
