RE: pon troubles

[Wandersmann <ploring@thuntek.net>]

Thanks, John, for such a quick and pointed reply. Yes, I'm running pon as root. I don't know what minicom is, and as far as I can tell I don't yet have it on my system. I'll get back to you once I have downloaded it.

'setserial -a /dev/ttyS2' gave me this:

	/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
		Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
		closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
		Flags: spd_normal skip_test

I also tried setserial -a /dev/ttyS0:

	/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
		Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
		closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
		Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_locked

and setserial -a /dev/ttyS1:

	/dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
		Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
		closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
		Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_locked

setserial -a /dev/ttyS3 was similar, although without the skip_test and session_locked flags.

Incidentally, if you could take a moment to explain to me what UART, IRQ, and the session_locked flag all signify, that would be great.

One other thing: As far as I can tell from the Win95 modems ctrl panel, my modem is actually two modems. The first is a "Game & Data Line" on COM3; that's the one I have been trying to access through linux. The second is a "Voice & Fax Line" on COM5, which I have been unable to access through linux; every reference I make within linux to /dev/ttyS4 gives me back a "not found" error, which I have taken to mean that linux can't see more that four ports.

Thanks again,

W
