I run Win95 and Linux 2.0.29 off separate hard drives running off an AMD K6 platform. Win95 uses a Plug-and-Play modem from Computer Peripherals, Inc. (a ViVa 56LC-SM). Linux, however, cannot dial out on this device; in fact, cu/kermit cannot even connect to the device.
I have verified with setserial, /proc/interrupts, minicom, and my BIOS configuration that IRQs and other system parameters are reasonably set. The Serial-HOWTO indicates that PnP modems are *not* recommended, but that people are known to have got them working. If so, how? I have David Howell's pnp module/driver software, but I'm reluctant to install and use it. Does anyone have hard evidence that a ViVa 56LC-SM will work under Linux?
