Re: Pctel modem problem

Hi Kevin,
thanks a lot for help. i didn't have wvdial so I installed it. But configuration wasn't successful. modem wasn't found. I am not sure which log I should send. there though one discrepancy I found. dmesg, messages and lspci tell me that /dev/ttyS15 has IRQ 9, but setserial says IRQ 2 for both /dev/modem and /dev/ttys15. Somewhere I've read that IRQ 2 and 9 are in fact indentical. i have tried to 
setserial /dev/ttyS15 irq 9
but it didn't change anything.
Which log should I send? (wvdial and kppp say only "modem not responding" and minicom and kppp terminal freeze) 
Why kppp says "Modem ready" and than shows no Modem query results?
How do I set different IRQ? setserial doesn't seem to change anything.
Thanks
Petr

Hi,
i am sorry, may be this is for a different list, but I've always received the best help from you guys, so I dare to ask here. I am trying to convince a modem on older Mitac notebook to let on internet. So far it only freezes minicom, in kppp I can "query modem", it says "modem ready", but I get no information from those ATI, only blank spaces in all lines. When try to connect to my ISP it says "the modem is not responding". I use pctel-0.9.4 driver which compiles flawlessly. My modem's PCTel PCT789T chipset. 
This all  the information I've been working with:

I am really at the end of my wits. I've been using Linux for 6 months only (Debian 2 months) and there is still much for me to learn. Can anyone help me with this? Some pointer would be just fine. 
Thanks a lot, it would save me from buying pcmcia modem.
