USR modem problems
I recently purchased a USR internal 56k PCI modem (model 3CP5610A), but
I've had no luck getting it working on my woody box. In the
instructions in the box, it tells me that to get it working with linux,
I need kernel 2.3 or above. "Good time to upgrade!" I thought, and I
went for the 2.4.6 kernel. I did a little research on in the
debian-user archives, and found some suggestions of enabling ISA
plug-n-play, and also changing some serial settings within the kernel
config. After doing these things, I still can't seem to get anything
to identify my modem. Under *cough* Winders *cough*, it's on COM port
5. I enabled the "Many Serial Ports" option in the kernel after I
found this out, but to no avail. No matter what COM port I try, it
doesn't seem to find it. dmesg gives me something about (I'm not at my
box right now... I'm at work) finding a serial board and right under it
lists /dev/tty4 with an IRQ. I thought this was my modem, so I tried
connecting to it in minicom, but I couldn't get it to show up. One
thing I found strange about using minicom, though, was that it said
"online" in the bottom right corner. I'd try to tell it to hang up,
and it would do it for about 1 second, and then it would go back to
online. I'm sorry that I don't have exact error messages with me right
now, but if any of this sounds familiar to anyone and you have
suggestions, please let me know. Also, if there's some specific info
you need, let me know.
TIA,
Jeremy
