Re: iBook internal modem experiences?
One thing I have noticed, however, in common with what Branden was
mentioning was that the macserial driver sees 2 serial devices on this
FireWire iBook - ttyS0 (aka tts/0), which is the modem (I'm using it now,
so it does work), and ttyS1, which doesn't seem to be anything. This
laptop has 6 ports - USB, FireWire, audio/composite video, Ethernet,
modem, and power. Is there logic somewhere in its mainboard for a serial
port that just doesn't have a connector? Does the macserial module just
blindly assume there will always be 2 serial ports? Or is there something
else up here?
It's hardly critical - it doesn't affect the functionality of the laptop
in the least - but it makes me wonder.
