Hello list Now that I have installed everything in my XP guest tried to setup my modem with no success. My host OS is Linux Slackware 12.1 and it is a modem integrated to the laptop. I got a linux driver for it that generates a device /dev/ttySL0 and created a /dev/modem symlink to it.
The modem is working, tested with 'minicom' and 'kppp' internet dialup. Tried to configure it on VirtualBox in the serial ports as host device /dev/ttySL0 but it returns error when starting the box... "The virtual machine execution may run into an error condition as described below. You may ignore this message, but it is suggested to perform an appropiate action to make sure the described error will not happen" "Ioctl failed for serial host device '/dev/ttySL0' (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER). The device will not work properly" Error ID: DrvHostSerialFail Severity: Warning and the modem is not recognized... Is there some way to use the modem from my guest system? I want it to setup a fax sotware so I can send and receive faxes from the windows guest. Is there some way to use it? I guess the "problem" is that VBOX tries to access the port by IOCTL as a serial port, but would it be possible to access it as a simple modem? just like 'minicom' does? Tried to use "Host Pipe" but it says it can access the socket... I guess it is the option to access the port as data I/O instead of direct access to the port by ioctl, but how should I setup the pipe configuration? As always, thanks for your help!
