[newbie] ISA PnP modem woes
I'm having no end to my troubles getting my ISA PnP modem working. It's not a Winmodem; I had it working with Slackware a few months ago.. but I just can't get it working with Mandrake / KDE. I have tried every combination I could think of: setting the jumpers for PnP with PnP OS both enabled and disabled in BIOS, setting the jumpers for particular IRQ/COM with PnP OS both enabled and disabled in BIOS... nothing but trouble. I've mostly been using Kppp, and when everything seems to be set correctly (/dev/cua2 or /dev/ttys2), I usually get a "Modem is busy"... occasionally I get "Modem is not responding" though this is usually when I've gotten desperate and just go through the list of devices at random in kppp setup. I normally have PnP OS off in BIOS - this doesn't affect any of my hardware in Win95, but if it's turned on my sound card won't work in Linux... my modem refuses to work either way. Isapnp runs at startup, and is finding both of my PnP devices (modem / soundcard), but the modem refuses to work. If the jumpers aren't set to PnP, I can't get the modem to work in Windows so if it's possible to keep them there I'd like to. I've tried everything I could think of, including setserial... unfortunately, I have a feeling I'm using setserial incorrectly. As far as I can tell, I'm following the man pages correctly... but I guess I don't trust myself. Anyway, if it matters it's a Cheyenne(?) 56K/v.90. Looks like it has a Rockwell chipset. Any help (esp w/ setserial) would be appreciated. -- Meanie

Any help (esp w/ setserial) would be appreciated. I would turn PNP OS "off" in the BIOS (to get along with the soundcard), then set the modem to be non-PNP. Set the modem jumpers to an unused IRQ and COM port then boot Linux. During bootup, you should see something like this: Serial driver version 4.27 with no serial options enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A that will let you know that the port was found. Check to make sure that the IRQ matches what you set on the modem. If it doesn't, use setserial to adjust it: setserial /dev/ttySX irq Y where X is the port number from the line above (just remove the first '0', so ttyS00 becomes ttyS0, etc) and Y is the IRQ number that you've got the modem jumpered for. Once that is fixed, change the /dev/modem link to point to the correct device. If your modem is on COM1, you'll use: cd /dev rm modem ln -s ttyS0 modem Again, adjust those commands to the actual port you're using. Next, check in /var/lock and see if there are any files named LCK..BLAH there. If there are, remove them before trying to run KPPP. Finally, run KPPP and adjust your setup to show /dev/modem as the modem device. That _SHOULD_ be all that's necessary to getting it to work. For the most part, PNP stuff CAN be a pain under Linux -- the conflicts between the soundcard and modem when both are set for PNP is a good example, and one I've fought here once or twice. I hope the information above is helpful and gets you up and running with Linux! Good luck! -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] ISA PnP modem woes
From: Meanie [EMAIL PROTECTED] trouble. I've mostly been using Kppp, and when everything seems to be set correctly (/dev/cua2 or /dev/ttys2), I usually get a "Modem is busy"... occasionally I get "Modem is not responding" though this is Hmmm... You say that isapnp detects the modem and the sound card when you start up. Have you configured any settings for the modem in isapnp.conf? If so, what are they? (if not, then select some) Suppose that it's set for io=3e8 and irq 5--do % setserial /dev/ttyS2 ...and see what it's set to. If it reports io=3e8, irq 5, and uart of 16550a, you should be fine. If not, then do one or more of the following as necessary: % setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 % setserial /dev/ttyS2 io 3e8 % setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550a Assuming you got no errors with the above commands, start minicom and set it to /dev/ttyS2. See if it responds to modem commands. It might not, even if everything looks fine to this point (in my case, the modem didn't respond for 15 seconds or more to a simple "AT"). If it doesn't respond, change the settings in isapnp.conf to another configuration and try again. Once you have the modem responding correctly in minicom, then try kppp.
Re: [newbie] ISA PnP modem woes
From: Dan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] % setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 ...forgot to mention. Once you get the port set properly, you can add any necessary commands to /etc/rc.serial, so you don't have to manually re-do them every time you restart the machine.
Re: [newbie] ISA PnP modem woes
I have a similiar problem... although my (ISA PnP) modem has no jumpers, neither does soundcard for that matter, and minicom dials fine... just very slowly, kppp (with a simple "AT"-only init string) inits, then halts while 'setting speaker volume'. Can this be fixed in BIOS or setserial? any ideas?

The problem that you're encountering is that the paths that you put into your webpages do not map directly to the filesystem. It's the same type of thing that FTP servers use. The servers change their notion of a "root directory" to somewhere other than the actual physical root of the server. Mostly it's for security reasons. You don't want someone to download /etc/passwd out of your FTP server, nor do you want them to read it via your HTTP server either. So, each of them changes root to a new location (FTP on Mandrake is /home/ftp, HTTP is /home/httpd, I believe). On the physical server, you can cd to the directory that contains your pages and get the pwd and it'll show you something like /home/httpd/html/sphilp. However, as far as the webserver is concerned when parsing webpages, that directory is actually /html/sphilp. That's why you're getting the problems when trying to see the images when you browse the page. Hope this explanation helps! I can't upload my graphics to my webpage. Why?
