Hallo,
I am new to Linux (I have SuSE Linux 6.3) and one of my problems is that I can't get it to look beyond ttyS1, while my internal modem is on ttyS3. It scans ttyS0 and ttyS1 and that's as far as it is looking.
Another related problem is that I have now discovered that my modem is a dreaded 'winmodem', so I shall have to replace it. Are there any lists of known good internal PCI modems please?
Thanks in advance
Richard
Hi Richard,
have a look into /sbin/init.d/rc.serial. I remember editing some of the below lines. But the look of the file has changed; I can't tell what the script does in the first lines. It might be well save to try the following hint further below in the script:
# These are the standard COM1 through COM4 devices # # If you have an internal modeme with a Rockwell Chipset, add a "skip_test" # to the /dev/ttyS3 line below. (It's not added by default because it will # screw up people with 8514 displays). # # run_setserial /dev/ttyS0 ${AUTO_IRQ} skip_test autoconfig # run_setserial /dev/ttyS1 ${AUTO_IRQ} skip_test autoconfig # run_setserial /dev/ttyS2 ${AUTO_IRQ} skip_test autoconfig # run_setserial /dev/ttyS3 ${AUTO_IRQ} autoconfig
I'm fairly sure I tried this with no effect, much to my surprise as it looked like the answer to the problem. I say 'I'm fairly sure' because I've tried many, many things in the last few days and I'm into linux-info-overload ATM! I'll have another go tomorrow. I know my internal modem won't work as it is a winmodem, but this wouldn't stop linux from polling the port, would it? Surely it would poll the port (or would if I could make it!) and then come back with a failure message of some kind...wouldn't it...?
