Re: [newbie] Using com5?
Hi Barb, Go to http://www.unionbuiltbox.com/modem for instructions on how to set your modem up in L-M. This worked for me on a 3Com/USR 5610 hardware modem. Cheers, CR

Second, using the great instructions on this above mentioned page, I can't run setserial. My I/O port is DFE0 and it won't accept that format. Thanks for any help. Barbara
RE: [newbie] Using com5?
Barb Not to quarrel with the SuSE instructions but try these instead. Log in as root and from terminal enter the following command # cat /proc/pci This will list all your PCI devices. On this list you should see either Communication controller or Communication device, That listing is your modem. Write down the first I/O range. In the example I am using 0xd800 replace that with yours. Enter the following: # setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xd800 spd_vhi skip_test auto_irq autoconfig If there are no errors, then enter: # setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A Select /dev/ttyS3 as the device in kppp and see if your modem will now initalize and operate. If it does to make this perm. you will need to edit your rc.local file which is located in the /etc/rc.d directory. Add the 2 setserial lines to the end of this file Save the changes and reboot your system.

Re: [newbie] Using com5?
Barb, You may have a Winmodem. Does Windows call it a HCF modem? You can go to http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/20010302a.html and look for your model no. You'll also see the hardware modems there, internal external. CR Barb wrote: I do have a 3Com/USR modem, but two problems. When I try to use ttyS2, I'm told the modem is busy.

I have a Dell Dimension and in Win ME it shows my modem on Com5. As far as I can tell, there is no tty listing for a com5 in kppp. how can I add it so I can use the modem? Thanks! Barbara I am assuming that it is a PCI modem. In linux all PCI modems should be set in kppp to use ttyS3. On an added note unless you configured your own system when you purchased it from Dell and requested a hardware modem you will have a winmodem. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.
