debs,
i have a question, to which an answer is obvious probably to all but
me, regarding the modem driver, as my bootable linux box just gives me
a prompt when i "pon," regardless of the modem label (/dev/ttyS01;
/dev/ttyS02...): how does a newly reformatted hard drive, previously
running win98, recognize a modem (or any device, for that matter) if
there isn't a micro$oft o/s for a driver install?
here's my setup:
1. 233mhz laptop;
2. a reformatted, 2.1gb hard drive;
a) partitioned: (hda1) 500mb--dos 16-bit; (hda2) 1.53gb linux
native (bootable)--hda5; 68mb linux swap--hda6; and
3. 56k, v.90, pcmcia modem.
pls unconfuse me.
thx.
bentley taylor.
p.s.
or, is the problem that i don't have the correct/real name for
/dev/modem? if so, how do i find out the correct/real name for the
device?
