'One step forward, two steps back' this morning.Are you using a old ltmodem.tar.gz file (8.22a5), download the latest one from http://www.linmodems.org (at least 8.26a9 a few months ago)
The install script will set up the /dev/modem link to /dev/LT0 iirc not /dev/ttyS15, but I think the script does also offer making a softlink from /dev/tty14---/dev/LT0
Make sure the booted kernel (2.4.20-8 whatever) is the same as the kernel source /usr/src so that you can build the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/ltmodem
cya, Keith.
Firstly, it isn't a Lucent chip, & /var/log/messages confirms /dev/ttyS15 (see prev. post).
Yes, the kernel source came from orig cd >
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.4]$ ls /usr/src/linux-2.4
arch Documentation kernel README configs drivers lib REPORTING-BUGS COPYING fs MAINTAINERS Rules.make
COPYING.modules include Makefile scripts CREDITS init mm tmp_include_depends crypto ipc net
We got past module make install ok, but produced a "tainted kernel".
As per Nicks' suggestion:
There was:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls ttyS15 -l crw-rw-rw- 1 root uucp 62, 79 Aug 9 23:07 ttyS15 [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls mod* -la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 9 20:45 modem -> /dev/ttyS15
Now there's:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# mv modem modem.bak
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# link ttyS15 modem
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls mod* -la
crw-rw-rw- 2 root uucp 62, 79 Aug 9 23:39 modem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 9 20:45 modem.bak -> /dev/ttyS15
& now: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# ls ttyS15 -la crw-rw-rw- 2 root uucp 62, 79 Aug 10 10:44 ttyS15
Changes today.
*******************
Realising Eth0 would share IRQ5 with the modem, I switched on the DLink hub to bring up Eth0 for the first time since install (4 days ago). '#Modprobe ptserial' worked (but not from /etc/modules.conf - error - so I've put it into .bashrc ?)
Tried kppp on /dev/modem, which dialed out & connected to my ISP for the first time!!
Trouble was, no IP running then, no web or mail:

I'm back onto external /dev/ttyS0 to send this update, awaiting helpful advice..
