Thanks, John, for such a quick and pointed reply. Yes, I'm running pon as root.
I don't know what minicom is, and as far as I can tell I don't yet have it on
my system. I'll get back to you once I have downloaded it.
'setserial -a /dev/ttyS2' gave me this:
/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_normal skip_test
I also tried setserial -a /dev/ttyS0:
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_locked
and setserial -a /dev/ttyS1:
/dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_locked
setserial -a /dev/ttyS3 was similar, although without the skip_test and
session_locked flags.
Incidentally, if you could take a moment to explain to me what UART, IRQ, and
the session_locked flag all signify, that would be great.
One other thing: As far as I can tell from the Win95 modems ctrl panel, my
modem is actually two modems. The first is a "Game & Data Line" on COM3; that's
the one I have been trying to access through linux. The second is a "Voice &
Fax Line" on COM5, which I have been unable to access through linux; every
reference I make within linux to /dev/ttyS4 gives me back a "not found" error,
which I have taken to mean that linux can't see more that four ports.
Thanks again,
W
