Do i have to compile the kernal again to get it to reconize it because it mentions "some" distributions you have to. markOpoleO -- When is wisdom forfeited?

Re: [newbie] ttyS5 modem problem
I do not want to argue with anyone but I have an Actiontec PCI modem. It is on Com 5 in both Windows and BeOS but in linux (any distro) IT IS ttyS3.

So edit the ./MAKEDEV file that you made and see if your modem shows up. Good luck, Dennis -- Dennis M. a registered Linux User #180842
Re: [newbie] ttyS5 modem problem
Ok here what i tryed, i noticed that it only goes up to ttyS0-ttyS3 in Mandrake 7.1..BUT my modem is on COM 5 in windows..which would be ttyS4 right? I tryed changing it in windows but it still goes back to com 5. I also tryed doing the instructions with modem that says: #./MAKEDEV ttyS4 ,it does not give a error or anything after i do that but does not show up in Internet setup still. Any other Ideas? I noticed in the /dev folder there WAS a ttyS4 listed but it said there was no files or something like that. BTW, the modem i have is the new PCI Zoom Model#2920 thanks, markOpoleO - Original Message - From: "Charles A Edwards" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 1:32 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] ttyS5 modem problem I do not want to argue with anyone but I have an Actiontec PCI modem.
