Verify your BIOS is set for Non PnP OS
In Linux PCI modems are ttySs.
The setserial commands must be issued as root.
For a PCI modem use the followin directions.
. 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 proceed 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.

Subject: [newbie] Modem help needed
Setserial would not work for me, I take it that I type the
commands in from the console. I made some changes to
the set-up and got some funny thing happing. When I made
it Xon/Xoff it would talk to the modem but would not work.
My modem is in COM1 which is ttsyS0 but when I changed
the settings to ttsyS1 or any of the others it tells me my
modem is busy?.
Well I wrote Diamond to see if this PCI card is a winmodem
or not but have not received a answer as of yet. If any of you
have any other ideas please let me know.
Modem is: SupraMax 56i PCI V.90
Thanks again for you your great help guys
