Re: [newbie] ttyS4 problem still!
Perhaps if you looked at my problem, you could give a helpful answer...that was a good reason to ignore your message last time, just like now. "if you would enter the proper set- serial commands"..great, what are they?

Did it work?? I do not intend that you consider this as a flame, ok? Under linux the serial ports which are available to you for this purpose are /dev/ttyS0 thru /dev/ttyS4 and /dev/modem. That Windows is able to see the moden at Com5 is meaningless in this situation because we are working with linux. -- The relavant setserial commands are as follows: 'setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xd400 spd_vhi skip_test irq 10' and 'setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A' If entering these commands (as root) from your console has enabled your to access the modem - then your modem has been linked to /dev/ttyS3 After you have proved the above - add those lines to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc/local so that they are executed when your system restarts. OK?? Now - kppp _SHOULD_ work from ttyS3 because we have assigned the modem to that device. If it does not then we need to look at something else which is interferring with it. Right now I don't know what is doing that - I don't have enough information.

Maybe you were clear in previous msgs in the thread but there's too much mail going through this conference to keep track of all of it. Cheers --- Larry
Re: [newbie] ttyS4 problem still!
Mark, I posted this before, basically you don't need a dev/ttyS4 for COM5 because coms above 2 are software set by the OS so the modem doen't care what com port it uses. Use the setserial command with the irq, iobase and uart opteions (see link in message). On my modem (USR Internet Gaming Modem PCI) it is set up as COM 5 in Windows and dev/ttyS3 in Linux Mandrake 7.1. Check out www.unionbuiltbox.com/faqmodem.htm it basically says that COM 3 on up are software derived Com ports and you can use either dev/ttyS2 or dev/ttyS3 in linux. They also have a modem setup tutorial on that site for PCI modems. It's worked for me twice setting up my modem in Mandrake 6.1 and 7.1. Another thing to check for is to see if your usb is on the same IRQ as your modem. If it is the only work around that I have heard (and what I'm currently using) is to go into the mandrake setup program and disable USB and your modem won't have the Device Busy Message when you try to use KPPP. - Don S - Original Message - From: "markOpoleO" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] ttyS4 problem still!
