Well, this is to be expected - remember that linux numbers serial
ports from 0, whereas Dos numbers them from 1, so your modem is
/dev/ttyS1 in Linux. (and therefore, setserial is indeed recognizing
your modem just fine) Now, what do you have in your
/etc/ppp.options_out file? Specifically, do you have (as is the
default) '/dev/modem' in there? If so, then you should make certain
that /dev/modem points to your modem (either that, or you can change
the bit in /etc/ppp.options_out to say '/dev/ttyS1' instead - opinions
differ as to which method is "correct") - you can make /dev/modem
point to your modem by doing:
ln -sf ttyS1 /dev/modem
The see if you can get your modem to respond as it should.
