RE: [newbie] PCI Hardware Modem Says Sorry, the modem is busy.

 Hi,
 
 It appears that your USB and your modem are trying to use the same IRQ
 (9). I had a similar problem myself.  If you aren't using and USB devices
 or don't plan on it, then just shut the USB service off so that it won't
 load.  Reboot the computer and then try to dial out and see what you get.
 Make sure to use the setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 9 port 0x1040 .  I plan on
 figuring out someday how to get my USB working on a different IRQ, but
 since I don't use it for anything, then I don't see why I should worry
 about it.  :-)  I've got too many irons in the fire already.  I hope this
 helps you out.

 Subject:  [newbie] PCI Hardware Modem Says "Sorry, the modem is busy."
 
 Hi all,
PROBLEM SUMMARY: I installed Mandrake Linux 7.1 two weeks ago and I'm
 still trying to get my modem to work.  Each time I try to use it I receive
 the message "Sorry, modem is busy." when trying to use it from KPPP.
 
PROBLEM DETAIL: Below I have included the output of numerous commands
 in
 order to provide as much information as possible.  (Sorry for the long
 length).  I've tried the setserial command to specify the IRQ and IO
 address
 of the modem but it still does not work.  Maybe someone can see something
 I'm missing.  Its seems to me my modem should work?  I've searched
 archives
 and HOW To and the web and can't find anything that works.
 
  I'm running a dual boot system and the modem works fine under Windows 98.
 My sound card is a "TBS (Turtle Beach System) Montego II Sound Blaster Pro
 Emulation".  My system is a "DELL XPS T600" 600 Mhz w/256RAM.  My video
 card
 is a Voodoo 3500 TV card.
 
  I have an internal PCI hardware controller based modem.  Its Vendor id is
 12b9 and Device id=1008 which rule of thumb says is a hardware controller
 based modem.
 
 My modem is a:
 U.S. Robotics 56K INT Voice PCI
  Windows reports its IRQ is 09 and I/O: 1040h-1047h and is installed on
 COM5.
 I've had great difficulty identifying its real Model number.  I received
 it
 with my DELL XPS T600 system and specifically ordered this modem from Dell
 to replace the default winmodem that normally ships with their systems.
 Anyway, the HTML doc for my modem on its CD-Rom says it's 3COM part number
 is "3CP3298-DEL".  Dell Support said it's  a "3Com Hawk MODEM, a PCI
 Controller-based Fax, Voice and V.90 Data MODEM. The Dell part number is
 4306P."
 
 Here is the output of  "AT" commands I used to query the modem to find
 what
 model number it would report.  Several numbers it reported were "5601" and
 "USR3070".  If someone knows which number is the "real" model number,
 please
 let me know.

have you tried to adjust the setserial command to point to "/dev/modem" instead
of "/dev/ttyS2"? and set the modem in linuxconfig  "initial system services"
to point to ttyS2, and turned offf all PNP on the BOIS? including PNP aware OOS

Hi pezcal,
  You were CORRECT! Thanks.  I disabled USB from starting via drakconf,
drakxservices.  The modem was then detected and I get a dial tone.
Previously, under drakconf, Hardware Config, the modem was not detected.
Thanks again.

i work for an oem vendor here in milwaukee wisconsin, and we deal in oem usr
modems.  they have a area of thier site for the oem only modems at:
http://consumer.3com.com/oem/filelibrary/index.html

check the black plastic surrounding the phone jacks for a white sticker with
a barcode and a number, then compare that number against the ones on the
site and you may get a better model number.  be warned, the number on the
modem is usually longer than the one one the site, so you look for the best
partial match.  unfortunately, these oem modems have no linux drivers or
info, as all they really do for the oem shit is get them ready to ship in
windows boxes.  i just thought the site might give you a better idea of what
you are dealing with.  good luck!

  Yes I had tried all 3 things you said below.

  Thanks for you suggestions, my modem now works thanks to pezcal who saw my

U.S. Robotics 56K INT Voice PCI
 Windows reports its IRQ is 09 and I/O: 1040h-1047h and is installed on
COM5.
I've had great difficulty identifying its real Model number.  I received it
with my DELL XPS T600 system and specifically ordered this modem from Dell
to replace the default winmodem that normally ships with their systems.
Anyway, the HTML doc for my modem on its CD-Rom says it's 3COM part number
is "3CP3298-DEL".  Dell Support said it's  a "3Com Hawk MODEM, a PCI
Controller-based Fax, Voice and V.90 Data MODEM. The Dell part number is
4306P."

Here is the output of  "AT" commands I used to query the modem to find what
model number it would report.  Several numbers it reported were "5601" and
"USR3070".  If someone knows which number is the "real" model number, please
let me know.

I have tried the following set serial commands and still receive the message
"Sorry, the modem is busy" when trying to use KPPP under KDE to talk to the
modem.

i work for an oem vendor here in milwaukee wisconsin, and we deal in oem usr
modems.  they have a area of thier site for the oem only modems at:
http://consumer.3com.com/oem/filelibrary/index.html

check the black plastic surrounding the phone jacks for a white sticker with
a barcode and a number, then compare that number against the ones on the
site and you may get a better model number.  be warned, the number on the
modem is usually longer than the one one the site, so you look for the best
partial match.  unfortunately, these oem modems have no linux drivers or
info, as all they really do for the oem shit is get them ready to ship in
windows boxes.  i just thought the site might give you a better idea of what
you are dealing with.  good luck!
