modem solution
Just a followup on the modem install:
I had problems configuring my modem (dynalink 1428VQH on COM3/ttyS2, a
dumb multiport modem), which was trying to share IRQ4 with COM1.
The problem was that it was /sort of/ working, but very slow to
respond under minicom (about twenty seconds to ATDT) and dead under
pppd.
The solution (very simple, eventually) was to edit my
/etc/rc.boot/0setserial file and manually configure the IRQ for
ttyS2. I made it IRQ5, and the modem worked immediately. Instructions
were in the file.
This isn't news to an advanced user, but it was useful to know this
for me as a newby. Thanks very much to the people on this list and in
irc #debian (I know know irc has a function, too!) who helped me
through it. Cheers!
