** Reply to message from Derek Rayne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Thu, 1 Mar 2001 18:45:10 -0800 (PST) Your modem problem. Which COM port are you using? They map this way: /dev/ttyS0 -- COM1 /dev/ttyS1 -- COM2 /dev/ttyS2 -- COM3 /dev/ttyS3 -- COM4 it is case sensitive, /dev/ttys0 is not the same as /dev/ttyS0.... typical UNIX.... If you are using a COM port with a unique IRQ (for example I use COM3 with IRQ 10, where the default is IRQ 4), then Linux won't see your modem properly. The way to fix it is to use setserial setserial /dev/ttyS2 IRQ 10 -- this is my command. Now, each time you boot, Linux forgets your setserial command. I have the notes at home, and don't remember where to put it so that it will set everytime, but if I remember right, it goes in my rc.d file, which I think is in /etc/rc.d -- but I'm not sure about that. Hope this helps -- Andy
