Hello David,
Thanks for the fast response. The docs have stated that devices are created
in /dev/ called /dev/sm[0..3] while in another spot it states network
devices.. In any case I am unable to access them in any manner and when I
run any of the tools that are supposed to manage them there do not exist.
And I am not a novice at networking after having been a system admin now
for about 15 years this should be a piece of cake.. but I am stumped.
Everything comes up until the handling of the sm0 net device and ifconfig
and smdiags say it is down and smmixer says it does not exist. I have built
everything into the kernel at one point and as modules and combinations of
both. All to no avail. I am using all of the latest ax-utils (1.42a) and
net-tools 1.54 with a 2.2.14 kernel. Soundcard is a Soundblaster PCI 128
(es1370) and it works if I load the sound support (yes, I unload the sound
card support for the soundmodem as per the AX 25 soundmodem instructions).
The card is at SB 0x220 irq 7 dma 1 confirmed.
Thanks,
-Rich
