The first thing you need to do is find out if you winmodem or a real
modem. Log in as root and from terminal enter the following command # cat
/proc/pci
This will list all your PCI devices. On this list you should see either
Communication controller or Communication device, that listing is your
modem. If it shows as Comm. device you have a winmodem and it won't work in
Linux. If it shows as Comm. controller prceed as follows:
Write down the first I/O range. In the example I am using 0xd800 replace
that with yours. Enter the following
# setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xd800 spd_vhi skip_test auto_irq autoconfig
If there are no errors, then enter
# setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A
Select /dev/ttyS3 as the device in kppp and your modem should now initalize
and operate.
To make this perm. you will need to edit your rc.local file which is located
in the /etc/rc.d directory. Add the 2 setserial lines to the end of this
file Save the changes and reboot your system.
