Well... I am not sure what is going on. I have never had this much problem with a modem. I have two serial port that are detected (with serial in the kernel or as a module), but I cannot get one light to flicker.
I have try two different modems (external) and two different serial cables. I have setup pppconfig, and minicom. Niether one make the modem react even when I try ttyS[0-3] and cua[0-3]. I am not sure what is going on at all. Here is the kernel log: Mar 16 16:49:16 torch kernel: tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A Mar 16 16:49:16 torch kernel: tty03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Modem should be in the first serial port. Any ideas how I can get this thing to talk? I am out of ideas. --Jay Barbee
