Problen setting modem port speed.
Hi, I'm having a problem getting a modem connection speed other than 9600. I hacked pppd to print out the termios speeds and they are being set properly. I also hacked chat to print out the connection speed and it is always 9600 regardless of the speed set in the file in /etc/ppp/peers. I double check the connection speed with ping which always gives the same results. I have tried different modems and different firmware loads with the same result. The modems work fine on NT. Both modems used to work with 2.1 and with woody up to about two months ago. I'm currently using a standard 2.2 off a cd. I could go back to 2.1 or I could borrow an rs232 analyzer and keep hacking at the source but I thought I would check if anyone has any suggestions before I dig into it further. Thanks, Bob.
Re: CD Writer and SCSI adapter on Ultra5
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Joshua Uziel) writes: What is the SCSI adapter tipically inside an Ultra 5? Which kind of SCSI support I should put in the kernel? Ultra 5's don't come with SCSI... they've got IDE only unless you have a SCSI controller added to it. To answer your question, it would matter on which SCSI controller (if any) you've added to it. You can use the NCR/Symbios/LSI chips 810a or 875 as they are supported by the PROM (Bios) of the Ultra 5's.

Re: Re: CD Writer and SCSI adapter on Ultra5
Thank you for your kind replies. Joshua, due to the fact that I found the SCSI adapter already inside my Ultra5 I supposed it as being a common feature of all new Ultra5 and I wondered if this could be a standard one. So this is an answer also to Rainer that, if I understood well, is suggesting to me some good SCSI adapter to buy. Probably it could have been a good choice to issue prtconf command under Solaris before erasing it with Linux, in order to probe all the hardware my Ultra5 have inside (graphics, ethernet, SCSI adapter and so on). There is not any similar command in Linux, is there? Thank you again. Roberto Giorgetti Milan - Italy What is the SCSI adapter tipically inside an Ultra 5?

There is not any similar command in Linux, is there? Yes, it's called prtconf. It should be installed on your system already (sparc-utils), together with 'eeprom' etc. Regards, Pieter
usbmouse problem
Hi everybody, I'm just begining with Linux on sparc. I have already spent somme hours to install the lastest debian release on my sprac5 (problem with SILO) ... but it work now :-) Problem is 'startx'... it cannot find the mouse... I found on google that I need to link /dev/mouse - /dev/sunmouse : the problem is that /dev/sunmouse already point on /dev/mouse !! the only mouse device I have is /dev/usbmouse. I tried to link /dev/mouse on it : that is not working :-( sub-question : should I really use Xsun, or could I only use XFree86 stuff? thx, drive. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
