Hello, I'm a Linux newbe. I've a Suse 6.2 and iŽm installing all the hardware and have problems with my isa Sound Blaster 16 bit and isa modem Diamond Supraexpress 33.6i. I think that I can configure them with the isapnp utility but i canŽt find whatŽs the configuration file of both devices.
The best way to figure this out is: go into Windos and make a note of the resources (IRQ, base DMA) that Windos uses for your modem/soundcard. Then go to your favourite OS and do a 'pnpdump > isapnp.conf' (I think the isapnp tools must be run as root, but I can't check from here). Open the isapnp.conf file with an editor and un-comment the lines with the correct configuration statements for your hardware. Don't forget to uncomment the "ACT Y" tag at the end. Test the configuration you specified by running 'isapnp isapnp.conf' from the command line (as root). It usually takes some tweaking to get things right. If it's right then put the pnpconf file in the /etc directory and specify (in YaST) to run isapnp at boot time. Also, you could have a look at the man pages for ppdump, isapnp and isapnp.conf (if I remember the names correctly). Hey, anybody out there willing to share his Soundblaster config with this newbie :) Must be dozens of them around!
Suse has found the modem but doesnŽt works properly. The pppd utility can comunicate with it but at connection with "AT" waits a lot of time for the "OK" and the modem doesnŽt send it. Can you help me, please?
Are your serial ports configured correctly? This can be checked with the setserial program ('man setserial').
Browse here and see if your hardware is supported by Linux in general and SuSE in particular. http://cdb.suse.de/cgi-bin/scdb?HTML=ENGLISH/cdb_listtemplates/menu.htm&LANG=ENGLISH
Or even better: have a look at THE winmodem incompatibility site: http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html.
It may be that your modem is a WinModem and not usable under any other OS except WinXX.
