Winmodem installation OK
Just wanted to report the successfull installation of WINMODEM function
on a Compaq Armada 1500c laptop.
This laptop comes with an internal modem described as a
Compaq Armada 56K V90
but which Roger J. Allen <rja@sis.rpslmc.edu> related (for a later
Armada model) is a winmodem with the Lucent Tech chip.
Thus use was attempted of the linux586.zip kit downloaded from
http://www.linmodems.org .
This kit makes a /dev/ttyS14 node and supplies a Lucent alpha binary
ltmodem.o
which had been compiled under kernel-source-2.2.12.
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS Yes
was chosen during compilation of my 2.2.14 module, to allow use of the
2.2.12 version module.
Forcing (-f) is still needed to install the module:
insmod -f ltmodem
With changes
ln -sf /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem
and the ttyS specification in
/etc/ppp/peers/provider
the establishment of PPP connection via the winmodem was troublefree.
