Modem Question for Slackware 8.0

Hi,

I have a question pertaining to my internal ISA hardware modem.. I can manually set the jumpers for it on the car to which IRQ/Com port I wanna use but, in slackware would that classify the same as which com port it would be for an external serial port modem? tty and such?

well in linux com 1 would be equal to ttyS0 and so on... com 2 would be ttyS1
usually if you set them manually and it doesn't recognize the settings, you have to manually adjust this in linux from the command line with the setserial command.

usually you can do this command for example:

Code:

setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 9

if you set up the modem as Com3 with IRQ 9....

hope this helps...
