[S.u.S.E. Linux] Installing an internal Modem as Com3
Hello list, I'm installing an internal US Robotics Modem as Com3, with an IRQ of 5. Do I have to make a new device file for this capability?? If so how? Thanks Curt -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Hello list,
I'm installing an internal US Robotics Modem as Com3, with an IRQ of 5.
Do I have to make a new device file for this capability?? If so how?
Thanks
Curt
the device name of com3 is /dev/cua2 ...

Not trying to be picky about right answers but try and get away from the /dev/cu* devices, they are going away in favor of /dev/ttyS* com3 <=> /dev/ttyS2 -- Andrew L.

com3 ... Be it /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/cua2 aren't those devices wired for IRQ 4 ??? What about the IRQ 5 requirement or is that automatic?? Lach PS I just installed 5.2, very nice, and KDE is coming along, life is good!! -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You can set the value in the bios, there is a limited selection. -- Andrew L. Davis Network Operations adavis@vprlnk.net ViperLink International -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Andrew, I guess you missed my point. If Curt has an internal modem set for Com3, IRQ 5. It has nothing to do with the bios in the PC weather linux will see the modem when you use the device /dev/ttyS2. I'm pretty sure /dev/ttyS2 is looking at the same I/O location but it is looking on IRQ 4, not IRQ 5. Later Lach Andrew L. Davis wrote:

If they are using com3 then IRQ 3 and IRQ 4 are already in use; to use the other com ports they will have to use a different IRQ. To do this you need to use setserial to change the IRQ number. -- Andrew L.

Try looking in the file /sbin/init.d/serial. It's pretty well documented with TONS and TONS of samples. On 27-Apr-98 Lachlan Dunlop wrote:
