Re: [SLE] Modems... faxes... More clear now, help!
Hi!
The modem is not found with the way you give me. The modem is an internal
modem.
If I execute lspci -tv, the output is:
-[00]-+-00.0 VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133]
+-01.0-[01]----00.0 nVidia Corporation NV15 (Geforce2 GTS)
+-07.0 VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super South]
+-07.1 VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE
+-07.2 VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB
+-07.4 VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI]
+-0a.0 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink]
+-0b.0 US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610
+-0d.0 Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1
\-0d.1 Creative Labs SB Live!
With this output I think the modem is at least seen at startup. If now I
type lspci -vv to be sure of the IRQ I obtain:

faxes. I have a modem US Robotics supposed to be a hardware modem. It is
already physically installed in the computer. It was working fine with
windows.
How can I do to make it working in linux? (....) Hi Martin-Richard, I just recently installed a US Robotics modem to a 7.3 box, I have no
idea what happens behind the scene, since I did nothing but:
- YaST2
- Network/Basic
- Modem Configuration
Your modem should be connected to both box and phone plug and 230V AC~
power (or whatever the voltage is in your place) and switched on (in
short, operational ...). The rest should work automatically, YaST2
should find it itself. Give some feedback to the list if it doesn't:-)
Then, of course, you also need to set up your ISP phone number, your
account data and so on, but that's all under -YaST2 -Network/Basic as
well. Concerning the fax issue, I ain't familiar with that, but there are some
possibilities to do this AFAIK Cheers ... Wolfi

Hi Martin, Internal hmmm. Not good:-(( Ok, there is a site named http://linmodems.org (hope I got it right), which deals with internal and WinModems; haven't been there myself, since I never had some troubles with this (*). Before you start on a long and maybe resultless search, think about how much your time is worth; if it does have some value, it might be better to buy an external modem which is known to work rather than spend hours on searches. My idea is: Check linmodems, and do a new post here, saying: 'US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610 internal, Anyone got it working?' or similar, and if there are no results, it's maybe better to get yourself an external modem, as far as I have heared from others here on this list - I can only quote from my memory, see above, I was never involved in internal modem setup myself! Cheers ... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com (*) I got a Fritz!Card here in the first location, and the mentioned USR modem in the second residence - Both not the cheapest pieces, but known to work straight out of the box:-) Well, the USR was a leftover from my ex-wife:-)) Her new WindozeXP box came with internal modem... _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I missed the beginning of this thread, so pardon me if I repeat something already said. I think it's safe to say that most internal PCI modems are winmodems. However, just because a modem is internal and PCI does not automatically mean it is a winmodem. Similarly, just because a modem is a winmodem does not automatically mean it won't work, although certainly your chances of it working are way down vs. a hardware modem. My personal philosophy is the same as Wolfi's, namely that I'd rather just get an external hardware modem in the first place so I know I can simply plug it in and start using it. Regarding US Robotics/3Com, I know of at least one PCI model they make that is a true hardware modem: the 5610. I have personally used this in 3 different computers with a variety of different Linux distros, including SuSE, and it works great. The key is that this modem insists on being on com 5. I called USR tech support and was told that this is hardwired in and cannot be changed. In my opinion the com5 issue is why it won't auto detect in Linux. At least for me, it never autodetects. To get this working, use setserial. Basically setserial just tells linux, find the com port at the address I give you, and assign it to ttyS3 (or whatever). An example of the syntax is: setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550a port 0xb800 irq3 You would have to change the above to reflect the I/O and IRQ the modem is using on your system and the ttyS* that you want to use. One way of finding the I/O and IRQ is type lspci -v in a terminal (1st character is an L) Some have had success with the following variation of the setserial command: setserial /dev/ttyS1 port 0xc800 auto_irq autoconfig (again substituting the correct I/O being used on your system). *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.
