Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
I'm having this problem now after reinstalling Mandrake following a system upgrade. My USR internal modem worked fine under both Mandrake MS Win when the system was a Pentium 133. But now the same modem won't work with Mandrake in what is now an AMD K2-6 450, although it still works fine in MS Win. I don't get it. I have a Zoom that is PNP that works fine in windows. Linux will not pick it up with play and play, I will get modem busy as you did. If I disable the plug and play on the modem card it will work in Linux Mandrake. Mandrake boots up and sees it as a generic modem and it works fine. Also remember when selecting port option in PPP settings that if you were on port 2 in windows it would be either cua 3 or ttys3 in Linux.. Most cards work with CRTS and I would go back to using that and adjust your ports, more likely your problem. John
Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
HI Alan I have modem on com3 this is /dev/ttyS2 but for Kppp is same "sorry,modem is busy" and nothing works . I used minicom but to same problem modem is busy please hand up . :-) George - Original Message - From: Alan Shoemaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 1:41 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] "sorry,modem is busy" John Georgethat's incorrect in a number of ways. Windows ports are numbered com1, com2, com3 and com4. Linux ports are numbered (note the upper case S) ttyS0, ttyS1, ttysS2 and ttyS3. The cuaX's are obsolete (though they do still exist in the /dev directory in mdk 7), but are/were numbered 0 through 3 just like the ttySX's and there is/was no space between the cua and the number. So, com2 is equivelent to ttyS1 or cua1, not ttys3 or cua 3. Alan jfmurphy wrote: [snip] I have a Zoom that is PNP that works fine in windows.

Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
OK, I just solvd this problem, try switching the settings under modem from CTRS... to xon/xoff. Now, I get one step further, but still can not connect it says" Initializing modem" and times out there!

Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
Ok I had that probelem as well Its caused by the Plug in and Play if your modem has jumpers on it you disable it and set the Com port yourself it should work then with no more Problems.

John Correction . port is settings as someone mentioned is one less then windows /dev/cua0 would be windows Com1 /dev/cua1 would be windows Com2 Also if your modem port is still busy pick ttys with the same scenerio as above with the numbers. Sorry I should of looked before I spoke earlier, I have three different OS's I work on. The memory starts to go when you get old. John
Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
Do you have it set to COM2? I believe that's usually the assumed modem port. You may be doing this already, but for non pnp devices, it's usually good to run "add new hardware" from control pannel.

Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
Try specifying the "make and model" manually instead of having windows try to detect it... other than that I don't know what to suggest. You can always just use linux :) DvB On Sun, 13 Feb 2000, Brent Timmer wrote: yeah, couldn't even find it. - Original Message - From: David van Balen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] "sorry,modem is busy" Do you have it set to COM2?
