Mr. Techno :-)
Wow, this is great. I haven't put this in yet because I have one
question. What does this mean and how do I do it?
"And all you godda do is out this command in rc.local ..So that it
will execute in bootup.."
I'm thinkin this means adding a line in this file.
Also, thanks to Dan Brown and Arnold Kelly for helping me with my
login question. I'd like to add another question with this post if I
may. What is the proper way to shut down? I seem to be doing it wrong
because it keeps telling me on a new boot up that the disk was
improperly unmounted. In the desktop, I click on logout then type
"shutdown now" and it does a bunch of stuff and ends with something
like #smash (this is from memory). I changed the inittab file to
default 5 and it ended with something different (I think "system
halted" if memory serves me correctly). What is the proper method for
default 3?
I do allot of what I do on the net so I kinda need to dial up, so I
keep having to hook up Mr Billy. Hopefully this string given in this
post will fix my modem problem and I can do this from within Linux.
When I get it all up and running so I am comfortable with it, I do
plan on re-installing it on my 5 gig as a duel boot to 98 but I'll
have to do a little research on that partition program before I give
that a go. Till then I have to swap disks.
Thanks again
Russ

Use IsaPnP...Actually we have the same modem, I have a USR Robotics
Sportster 33600 PnP too. Well, all you godda do is make a file called
"isapnp.conf" in /etc and in that file, insert this...
(READPORT 0x02f8)
(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(CONFIGURE USR0011/319951107 (LD 0
(IO 0 (BASE 0x02f8))
(INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E)))
(ACT Y)))
(WAITFORKEY)
Well, just copy this, coz we have the same modem anyway, theres no
need
to change the config here. Then do this "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf"
then make a file called "modemconfig" in /bin and insert this
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 3 autoconfig
setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_normal
setserial /dev/ttyS1
stty -echo < /dev/ttyS1
You dont need the first line, coz linux mandrake automatically does
isapnp in bootup..so you just have to delete "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf"
. And all you godda do is out this command in rc.local ..So that it
will
execute in bootup..I guess thats it..
