Re: cu connects to PnP modem ok, but no response for AT
In the BIOS, I turn the 'PnP OS' option off.
In the 'PCI peripherals' section of the BIOS,
I disable the two 'Onboard serial devices'
(as these two 9-pin ports are currently unused).
When I look into Win95, I look at the settings
for my modem and find that IRQ 4 is used for
address 0x3f8, with DMAs 7, 5 active.
Then, I go to Linux, set up the same for /dev/ttyS1
through 'setserial' and the 'isapnp' tools. When I
use 'cu' to connect to the modem, I go to
another xterm and type 'cat /proc/interrupts'
to see what's going on with IRQ 4.
Well, IRQ 4 fires off exactly 0 times, according
to /proc/interrupts. Moreover, the modem never
responds to ATE1 or anything else.
I'm really at my wit's end on this one. But other
people with PnP modems are reporting working
setups. Sigh.
What's the solution?

Could also be several things, like echo is disabled (favourite of
Windows) (ATE1 to enable it), IRQ conflicts, etc. If the BIOS
set up the PnP card, it could well be an IRQ conflict because
the BIOS has absolutely no idea what IRQs the legacy hardware is using
unless you've configured it correctly.
