Hi,
I want to use my internal Acer AOpen FM56-P internal PCI modem to
make a Dial-Out connection for PPPing to may ISP.
>From RedHat Linux 5.1. I can not communicate with modem!
Modem runs fine under Win-95.
Is this the case "it will run ONLY with Win-95/NT?"
Suggestions appreciated. (Yep, I considered the thing of changing the modem
with one external, please don't make this suggestion)
Thanks
Here are more facts:
********************* Under LINUX *********************
1. The modem PCI card is correctly reported (through /proc/pci) as
serial card with irq=11 , 32 bit memory address EEFE0000
2. "setserial" command doesn't work (trying all options, including
auto-test -ing for UART, and manual setting of UART type):
- "UART unknown"
3. Testing for direct communication with modem, using "minicom" &
AT-commands. Nothing!
- using of IRQ11 is not reported (check with /proc/interrupts)
QUESTIONS:
a) is the "setserial" in some way equivalent to Win95 comm.drv ?
(see p.2 in "Under Windows-95" section)
b) do I need some kind of drive for Linux, equivalent to
"HCFModem (AOpen PCI Modem Enumerator)" for Windows?
I check the WEB page of Acer Open for software drives for
this type of cards - nothing but for Win-95/NT !
********************* Under Windows-95 **************
Device Manager reports 2 devices related to this modem:
1) HCFModem (AOpen PCI Modem Enumerator)
(IRQ 11, memory range EEFE0000 - EEFEFFFF)
2) Modem (AOpen FM56-P 56K Data Fax Speakerphone PCI Modem)
As I understand, the first one is working "on low level" with Modem PCI card
and makes "visible" as a COM3 port for the second drive (usual Windows
comm.drv).
In DOS session (but still under Windows!) the modems is seen as attached
to COM3 port (I can communicate with it by AT-commands).
Under "pure" DOS (without Windows) the modem is not seen at all!
(reports about not having COM3 port)
