Hi,
Thanks a lot for all the responses.. Getting all this help is really
cool. Here are some answers to your questions.
--Um.. Why are you using 'uart 16450' ? IIRC that's for old, slow
--serial ports and new machines should have 16550.
I have a program called 'CheckIt' and it tells me that the modem's UART
is 16540. That's the only reason I used that number. My modem's
specifications don't refer to a UART at all.
--It's a pci modem, so it should get an irq given to it
--automagically unless you play with your BIOS. This means you
--just have to find it :)
There's a file "/proc/pci" which tells me it's on irq 5 now and that
it's first i/o address is something like 0xe400000. I've tried these
with setserial to no avail.
--What other serial devices do you have ?
I have no other serial devices and both serial ports are disabled so the
com1&2 ports and irq's3&4 are free.
--There is, of course, the possibility it's a 'winmodem' but I
--don't know which modems are and aren't.
The manufacturer doesn't refer to the modem as a 'winmodem'. But it
could still be incompatible with linux.. I've spent hours trying to
find out but I can't come to a conclusion from the information I've
gathered.
--cua refers to a callout device.
What's a callout device?
--(IMHO hardware modems will ALWAYS be much better)....USR
--all the way!
What's IMHO? :) Excuse my ignorance. :(
Thanks for all the URL's !! I will look at them tonight and let you
know what I find.
byw, I was kindof wondering whether or not "Ji" is a male or female
name. ;)
later..
