Hello... So, my issue tonight is that I'm trying to configure my linux box to let me hotsync my palmpilot. I tried to use ttyS0, but it said it was busy, and that's when i remember <DUH> it must be the modem. So I tried ttyS1, and it just sat there and could not form a connection with cradle. At this point, I thought I would be brilliant and just reconfigure the modem to use the other serial port so that I wouldn't have to go in and change my hardware...<so much for brilliance!> If I look in my ppp settings, my modem is designated as /dev/modem which is a link to /dev/ttyS0, so I changed that to point to /dev/ttyS1, and it couldn't communicate with my modem any longer. Where do I need to go to change what port the modem is using, or how do I configure the ttyS1 port to be able to be used by the modem? I looked in older techtalk messages, and I saw the setserial command, but that doesn't seem to be what I'd need to actually point the modem to a newlocation, and I also checked my dmesg output for what ports were being configured for which IRQs, and I got the following output which seems to be fairly standard : ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Oh,and I've got a ps/2 mouse, so that shouldn't be using another comm port. Any help <direction> is appreciated... Kristin _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
