modem fun

[pplaw <pplaw@pcisys.net>]

debs,

i have a brand new dell deskbox with an internal modem--conexant
(mdp3900v.u modem)--that won't pon.

here's what i see:

$ setserial
$ /dev/ttyS0, uart: 16550A, port: 0x03f8, irq: 4

$ plog
...chat [348]:  abort on (no carrier)
...chat [348]:  abort on (voice)
...chat [348]:  abort on (no dial tone)
...chat [348]:  abort on (no answer)
...chat [348]:  send (atz^m)
...chat [348]:  expect (ok)
...chat [348]:  failed
...pppd [347]:   connect script failed
...pppd [347]: exit


$ dmesg
...
configuring serial ports...done
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 16550a

am i dealing with a winmodem problem? or  does the config need to be
adjusted?

ia, t.

bentley taylor.
