Any one out there know how to get PCI modems working/recognized under SuSE Linux 6.3? Am having an absolutely horrible time and believed I have tried everything.
Can you add serial ports? Does the kernel have any options for PCI modems? When I run statserial I get some output for /dev/cua1. I believe that that is more or less grand-fathered and we're supposed to be pointing to /dev/ttSn.
Can anyone offer any help/suggestions?
Thanks a lot,

First, Glenn, you don't tell us what the brand and model of the modem you are using is. There is a strong possibility, considering how much trouble you and YaST are having, that it is a WinModem (will run only on a WinXX). Also, cua1 is the old terminology. Com ports are now refered to as ttyS0, (COM1) and ttyS1 (COM2). A PCI modem sometimes uses two IRQs, 9 or 10 and 3 or 5 (LPT2). You may have IRQ conflicts with other devices that are attempting to access the same IRQ. cat /proc/interrupts will list the IRQs being used on your system. cat /proc/devices will list the devices. cat /proc/ioports will the the base addresses being used. cat /proc/dma will list the dma values being used. If you dual boot windows then go to the control panel and double-click the system icon. From it select the modem and click on properties. Make a note of what Windows uses for the IRQ and base address and use that info in YaST. Another possibility is to use the utility disk to run the config program that comes with the modem to set it to the IRQ and base address that you want it to use, ie, one the lands on unused IRQ and base addresses in SuSE. My first guess is that you have a WinModem.
