troubleshooting PnP modem on Linux 2.0.29 platform
I run Win95 and Linux 2.0.29 off separate hard drives
running off an AMD K6 platform. Win95 uses a
Plug-and-Play modem from Computer Peripherals, Inc.
(a ViVa 56LC-SM). Linux, however, cannot dial out
on this device; in fact, cu/kermit cannot even connect
to the device.
I have verified with setserial, /proc/interrupts, minicom,
and my BIOS configuration that IRQs and other system
parameters are reasonably set.
The Serial-HOWTO indicates that PnP modems are
*not* recommended, but that people are known to
have got them working.
If so, how? I have David Howell's pnp module/driver
software, but I'm reluctant to install and use it. Does
anyone have hard evidence that a ViVa 56LC-SM will
work under Linux?
Regards,
Charles
