PowerBook 3400 modem

2000-07-18 Thread michael baldwin
I am having some trouble getting my modem to work on my powerbook 3400. I hope some one might be able to help. The autoprobing doesn't find it during the ppconfig setup. I see that dmesg tells me that the serial port and the irda port are found. The 3400 has a combo ethernet/modem port. The

Just upgraded my kernel to 2.2.17pre11 (from 2.2.17pre5) and my sawtooth now longer gets my console going. I can ssh inn from another machine after it has booted, but the display just shows the initial screen 'Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.2.17 [...] booting...' My dmesg contains this line: Jul 18
