Hi all,
I'm having very basic trouble with a modem card. It's an old one, and it's possible it's dead, misconfigured, or otherwise not functioning.
However, my problem is more basic than that, even. I can see from hwinfo that the thing was probed successfully, and it has created /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1, but I don't know which is the modem, and which the serial port, and I am having difficulty finding out.
I tried using minicom to connect to the thing and sending it "AT" and "ATZ" commands (memory vaguely suggested that one of these was supposed to get a reply from the modem) but I couldn't get a response out of either /dev/ttyS0 or S1.
Any suggestions on how to identify it, or determine if the card is in fact misconfigured in some critical way (or dead)?
Cheers, Simon

Sounds like what you are doing is right... Been awhile since I played with modems. This may be a dumb suggestion - likely is - but have you checked the permissions on the tty device files to make sure you have the proper access?
