Hi everybody! I am trying to get the built-in modem of my mac mini to work (if only for nostalgic purposes :), but no luck so far... This is what linux sees: Linux venus 2.6.15.6 #1 PREEMPT Tue Mar 7 21:37:17 CET 2006 ppc GNU/Linux ttyS0 at MMIO 0x80013020 (irq = 22) is a Z85c30 ESCC - Serial port ttyS1 at MMIO 0x80013000 (irq = 23) is a Z85c30 ESCC - Serial port The devices appear nicely (thanks, udev :) in /dev: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2006-03-09 08:06 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 2006-03-09 08:00 /dev/ttyS1 And now the tricky part... I've tried minicom on both serial ports, and with the whole bunch of baud rates, but no luck. No response at all from the ports. Which makes me think that, perhaps, the built-in modem is not connected to any of these serial ports? If so, why on earth would apple add two serial ports connected to nothing but air (there are no serial connectors in the rear plate)? :-) Hey, legacy stuff in mac? :-P Indeed, I have no idea whether the built-in modem is a softmodem or not. Anybody has experimented with this? any ideas would be very appreciated. Nice piece of hardware, this mac mini. Working in almost complete silence is priceless for me... And thanks to the contributors of this list; with the info I gathered from here I got it working with no hassle, even the sound mixer issue was solved in this list!
