Re: [newbie] compaq vsc 56k (lucent)

KCKC,   tried this scenario, didn't help me.  Also tried using the ltmodem module designed for lucent modems, still doesn't work.   Its a Compaq VSC 56k designed by Lucent for Compaq.  If it is a winmodem type, and i don't think it is, it had no problems with the redhat 5.1 distribution.   Oh and given your example.... my pnp config file shows a list of boards with "no boards found" listed at the bottom.  It had no com ports or irq's listed.   ----- Original Message ----- From: KCKC To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2000 7:41 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] compaq vsc 56k (lucent) I had same problem with a modem that worked fine with an earlier installation but not with a 2nd one (same modem and same version of Mandrake). Here's an older post that helped me get things working again: For all you with pnp modem problems, this is how I got my usr 56k internal ISA modem to work pnp: 1. Type "/sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf" ##this loads info on your ISA PnP board(s) into the appropriate .conf file. 2. Type "/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" ##this makes your existing ISA PnP configuration active. 3. open your isapnp.conf file. You will have to remove the comment line from a couple of the resources listed, depending on how you want to set it up. Half way down the file you'll see a comment that says multiple choice time. You have to choose what IRQ and com you want to use. Com1=0x3f8, Com2=0x2f8, Com3=0x3e8, Com4=0x2e8. Here is an example of what I uncommented: # Start dependent functions: priority preferred # Fixed IO base address 0x02f8 # Number of IO addresses required: 8 (IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x02f8)) # IRQ 3. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default) (INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E))) This put me on Com2 IRQ 3. After you know what com port and irq you set it to, you can go onto the next step 3. Type "setserial /dev/ttySx port y irq z spd_vhi autoconfig" ##notation is as follows: "x" is your COMport, with 0=COM1, 1=COM2, 2=COM3, 3=COM4; "y" is the standard (or defined) address of that port, e.g. 0x3e8; "z" is the interrupt used by that port, usually 4 or 3; thus, if your modem is on COM1 with a standard address & IRQ, the line would read "setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x3f8 irq 4 spd_vhi autoconfig" . Oh, yes:"spd_vhi" is optional, I'd advise using it with a 56k modem, mine runs faster with it, but you could leave it off without a problem. 4. Type "rm /dev/modem" ##you may get a "not found" message, which is fine; if a /dev/modem" is found, you'll be asked to confirm this removal, type "y" to proceed. 5. Type "ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem" ##this establishes the linkage needed for your modem, not essential, but conventional; again, "x" here is the same as "x" in item 3 above. 6. With a text editor, open your "/rc.local" file, add the "setserial" command defined in item 3 above at the end of the file, save the file and exit the editor. ##For example, if your editor is xemacs, you'd type "xemacs /etc/rc.d/rc.local", then add the "setserial" command line. 7. Exit, logout, and reboot (not just restart Xserver). You should see a line for ISA PnP devices as you boot up. That should do it :) Thanks to Alan for help via his previous message ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Sinclair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 5:53 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Modem jumper settings > At 01:38 AM 2/15/00 -0500, you wrote: > >Is there a way to get linux to detect my USR internal 56k modem when the > >cards jumpers are set to PnP? > >Right now I have to set the jumpers to PnP to work with windows and set > >the jumpers to com2 to get it to work with Linux. > > Hi, > Could you let me know if you get any answers to your PNP problem?
