It's rock solid on 2.2.18. peace Mike At 04:23 PM 1/10/01 -0500, you wrote: >I get the subject message when trying to initiate a PPP connection over >an internal USR 56k/flex modem defined as /dev/ttyS0. > >It happens with both diald and chat(from PPP). > >The "LSR safety check engaged!\n" message then causes this (diald): >diald[407]: failed to get initial modem terminal attributes: Input/output >error >diald[407]: could not get initial terminal attributes: Input/output error >diald[407]: failed to set terminal attributes: Input/output error >chat[803]: Can't get terminal parameters: Input/output error > >The serial support at boot is: >Serial driver version 5.02 (2000-08-09) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT >SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled >ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A >ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A > >Any clues ?
