[newbie] another modem question
Does anyone know how to use the setserial command to change the IRQ setting of a modem to IRQ 5. For some reason, linux seems to want to use IRQ 4 but that creates a conflict. I've jumpered my modem to use IRQ 5 (which is free) but linux doesn't want to recognize it as that. I read that I need to use the setserial command to do this but I'm not sure of the syntax. I'm currently using this modem with a Red Hat 6.2 system but plan on moving it to my Mandrake system on the weekend. Thanks for all your help. John "Registered" Linux User #180033
Re: [newbie] another modem
When I was a tech I installed many Phoebe modems. They are pretty decent, and had models that could be jumper set to COM IRQ (a very good thing!). I bought my USRobotics before the v.90 spec had existed very long, if there would have been a need for updating this was a better choice. At this point in time, since the v.90 spec has been in use for quite some time the Phoebe is what I would choose for myself. -Gary- In a message dated 6/19/2000 7:50:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On Mon, 19 Jun 2000, you wrote: Hi folks...

Re: [newbie] another modem
I don't know if this is still relating or not, but I have that same modem. I was using Mandrake 6.0 until recently and the way that I got mine to work without having to get the card out and make changes was to edit the "hosts.allow hosts.deny" along with setting the BIOS with "NO" PNP OS Installed. Then, I added this command that helped myself since I have the modem set with the v.90 update: ATFC1D2S202=32X3S6=4M0 This will let you dial-out without having to wait for a dial-tone, which I was having a problem with on my if I turned off the speaker! If there's anything else... e-mail me and I'll see what I can do for you!

ZOOM 56K 0.90 mODEL nO:2919 is working fine with my linux-mandrake 7.1 But I did have trouble in configuring it. Good luck Bye Chandu - Original Message - From: Rodrigo P.
