Same thing happens with my system: # Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ # SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled # ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A # ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A # Redundant entry in serial pci_table. Please send the output of # lspci -vv, this message (12b9,1008,12b9,00aa) # and the manufacturer and name of serial board or modem board # to serial-pci-info@lists.sourceforge.net. # ttyS04 at port 0x7fe0 (irq = 10) is a 16550A Modem still works fine. > >>What happens with the command: > >>echo "ATDT555-1234" > /dev/ttyS3 > > > >Nothing absolutely nothing and I can hear my modem sending.

Since the grandparent poster has the same modem as mine, and my modem does not want to dial out by echoing that command to ttyS4, I would assume that it's the wrong way to debug the modem. Btw, if his dmesg log is correct, its ttyS4 he should be checking, not ttyS3, unless I am misunderstanding something. To debug, I would try these steps: 1) `wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf.test` 2) Assuming you get the line "Found a modem on /dev/ttyS4" then continue, else post another message to debian user. 3) edit /etc/wvdial.conf.test and add in a null phone number (5551234) and uncomment the phone number, username, and password lines. 4) `wvdial --config /etc/wvdial.conf.test` 5) If you hear it dial, congrats, your modem is working. Try putting in your real phone number, username, and password. Then redo step #4. -- icq: 34583382 | Nethack 3.4.2 is out! http://www.nethack.org jabber: dasunt@theoretic.com | "And how can man die better / Than facing msn: dasunt@hotmail.com | fearful odds / For the ashes of his fathers / yim: tsunad | and the temples of his gods?" ~ Babington
