They are number 0 to 3 which is the same as 1 to 4 Remember Com1 = ttyS0 Com2 = ttyS1 Com3 = ttyS2 and Com4 = ttyS3 Does this help?? -- ICQ# 89345394 Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] why only ttyS0-ttyS3?
that is as far as i got so far, do you know how to ADD a ttyS4 in mandrake 7.1? This would be 90 percent of my problem solved I "think" to get modem working. AND get /dev/ttyS4 shown as a option in Kppp? btw thanks all who responded so far. markOpoleO - Original Message - From: "John Rye" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 18, 2000 5:52 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] why only ttyS0-ttyS3? markOpoleO wrote: The question is the Subject..why do they only have 0-3 when most modems I have installed have more the 4 "com" ports in windows...is there a way i can add ttyS4 so linux reconizes it?

In Linux, PCI modems ARE ttyS3. Check the List archive I have several times posted the procedures for configuring PCI modems. If you have difficulty finding the procedures let me know and I will email them to you direct in order to spare the other members another weekly lesson. Charles (-:
