I'm trying to get a modem working on Corporate Server 1.0.1 (2.2.17 kernel). This is usually not a problem but I can't seem to get things working. I keep getting the error from inittab "id "S2" respawning too fast. Trying again in 5 minutes." I'm wondering if anyone has seen this. I've tried both S2 and S3. The modem is an older (~2 yrs) diamond supra pci. The command I'm using is mgetty -D /dev/ttyS2 Any help would be appreciated. Here is the output from the log files: 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.24-Jan07 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 check for lockfiles 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 locking the line 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 tio_get_rs232_lines: TIOCMGET failed: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 WARNING: DCD line still active, check modem settings (AT&Dx) 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 WARNING: DSR is off - modem turned off or bad cable? 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 lowering DTR to reset Modem 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 TIOCMBIC failed: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 cannot turn off soft carrier: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 tcgetattr failed: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 cannot get TIO: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 mg_init_device failed, trying again 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 tio_get_rs232_lines: TIOCMGET failed: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 WARNING: DCD line still active, check modem settings (AT&Dx) 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 WARNING: DSR is off - modem turned off or bad cable? 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 lowering DTR to reset Modem 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 TIOCMBIC failed: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 cannot turn off soft carrier: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 tcgetattr failed: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 cannot get TIO: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 mg_init_device failed, exiting: Input/output error 06/16 14:30:42 yS2 cannot get terminal line dev=ttyS2, exiting: Input/output error
