external modem problem
Aaargh. I had posted about a problem I was having with my external
modem a few days ago and then it suddenly started working. Well now,
without my having done anything much, it now seems to have stopped
working.
I'm running Potato with a 2.2.12 kernel. The modem is a US Robotics 56k
Fax modem. After not working (i.e., it would not respond to AT
commands) it started working fine once I compiled plug and play support
into the kernel. Since then, I've installed a few packages, worked on
getting mail set-up, and struggled somewhat with PCMCIA -- but haven't
touched anything obviously related to the modem. But now it won't
work! When I start Minicom, the TR light on the modem lights up, but
the modem won't respond to any AT commands. This is incredibly
frustrating. I would appreciate any help.
