Hi,
I'm having no success getting my PCI hardware modem working. Hope
someone here can help.
I've been following Jason McCarty's Linux PCI-Modem Micro-HOW-TO, and
here's what I've done so far.
As root, ran:
cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV ttyS4
ls -l /dev/ttyS4 shows:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 68 Jun 6 19:10 /dev/ttyS4
dmesg|grep ttyS shows:
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS04 at port 0xa000 (irq = 17) is a 16550A
This matches the output of lspci -v:
00:09.0 Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model
5610 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: US Robotics/3Com USR 56K Internal Voice Modem (Model
2976)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 17
I/O ports at a000 [size=8]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
After running pppconfig, and triple-checking the information I keyed
in, I ran pon. It fails to connect, in fact the modem makes no sound at
all. (Yes, the phone jack is plugged into the wall and the back of the
computer). I checked tail -f /var/log/messages, but there's no reply to
the initial challenge and the program exits after a few "alerts".
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
Steve
