Re: [newbie] Still Having Trouble Configuring my internal PNP Modem
I have worfked with mine a lot and i still can't get it to work. i don't get any i\o conflicts, kppp just says that the modem fails to respond. all my serial ports are set to auto. 03f8, 03e8 02e8 and 02f8, and minicom works (but how do you exit that program)> I really need some further help

If this is the case, then you will need to disable one of them if they both are not already being used by an actual device rather the just by the serial connectors on the back of your computer. How to do that depends on your computer, most of the newer boards use the bios setup to turn the ports on and off, this is possibly the case with your machine. Try starting the bios setup when you boot up (with many bios's that is hitting the Delete key once the bootup sequence starts) it will depend on your bios as to how to start the setup. With a Award flash bios the delete key starts the setup program, then the settings for the builtin ports is in the "peripherals" section, it should say something like first serial port, second serial port or something like that, to the right of that is the current settings for each port, toggle the one you don't need to the disabled possition. That should do it. John Love [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] Still Having Trouble Configuring my internal PNP Modem
Have you tried disabling one of the com ports in BIOS? Sorry if you've already tried this and it hasn't worked. :-) Seems to me that disabling serial ports in BIOS should allow you to permanently remove it from Linux.

Re: [newbie] Still Having Trouble Configuring my internal PNP Modem
Hello, I use a US Robotics fax modem, pnp. I set the jumpers on the modem itself, for com4 and irq7 (i think..I cant remember) and all is well in either Linux or Win95. > Is anyone out there using an internal plug-and-play > ISA modem successfully > with Linux? > > Thanks, > > Joe Patton > - Original Message - > From: Jason Cotterell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, July 24, 1999 6:50 AM > Subject: Re: [newbie] Need Help Using isapnp, > pnpdump, and isapnp.conf to > configure my PNP internal modem > > > > in console, type "statserial" for each port > (cua0,cua1cua2cua3). > > these are com 123and 4 in windows. using modemtool > from consle will let > > you set a link from whatever cua you choose to > /dev/modem > > so you can select it in Kppp or what ever ppp > program you use > > also use setserial for changing the i/o port irq > and uart settings > > for instance: > > [root@/dev/modem]setserial cua1 > > [root@/dev/modem](irq:4, UART: 16550A, Port: > 0x03f8) > > now typing in "setserial irq 3" would set > /dev/modem to use irq3 > > > > > > _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] Still Having Trouble Configuring my internal PNP Modem
The information provided to me below by Jason was very helpful in understanding how to query and configure my serial ports in Linux and X-Windows(Thanks, Jason), but I still haven't been able to get the isapnp utility to assign a free I/0 port to my internal pnp modem. I need to free up the following resources in order to get my modem working: 1. One of the I/O ports that is currently in use by com1(cua0), com2(cua1), com3(cua2), or com4(cua3) 2. One of the IRQ's that is in use by my serial ports(IRQ 3 or 4). After reading the man pages on setserial, I tried to use the following command to disable a serial port: setserial cua1 uart none I thought that the above command would disable COM2, and free up it's resources so that my internal modem could use them. I tried to run isapnp after using the 'setserial cua1 uart none' but the program informed me that there was still a conflict with the I/O port that i specified in my isapnp.conf file(the port that I thought I released from COM2). Is anyone out there using an internal plug-and-play ISA modem successfully with Linux?
