Just try varying the baudrates, all the way from 300 and up. Never mind bits and parity. (the default is almost always 8bit and no parity anyway).
Uh, I should also have asked - is it an ISA or a PCI card? For the former, you may well need jumpering, special config utility or isapnp.
It is a PCI, albeit an old one. I've dug out another from my scrap heap and am currently trying that.... fingers crossed!
Well, that doesn't seem to be working either. So, I conclude it's not the hardware, but is in fact a software/config problem (most likely) Looking closer, I notice that the motherboard seems to have serial hardware of its own. Presumably that would account for ttyS0 and ttyS1, making this modem card ttyS2 or S3? If I look at the devices in the /dev/directory, I find that there are 8 /dev/ttyS* devices listed. If I run: stty -a < /dev/ttyS? on each of them in turn, the ones at S0 and S1 report full info, the ones at S2 and S3 report Input/Output error, and the ones at S4 upwards report No such device or address. Hmm, can't help thinking this is telling me something? Any thoughts? Thanks, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
