Modem driver for Fedora 20

Hi. I don't know if I'm in the right place.....

I have a Hiro PCI modem that I'm trying to communicate with without success. The modem does work in WinXP, so that eliminates the hardware.

Running Fedora 20, I typed this and....

Code:

dmesg | grep ttyS

[    0.986470] 00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

...so I see the modem at /dev/ttyS0.

I installed [yum install] cutecom and got a "Could not open /dev/ttyS0.

Downloaded scanModem from http://www.linmodems.org/, read ModemData.txt. scanModem says I updated in 2011 but I just downloaded it. So that one throws me. It does show....

Code:

CLASS=0780

NAME="Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. Device 2f83 "

PCIDEV=14f1:2f83

SUBSYS=14f1:0000

IRQ=11

HDA2=00:1b.0

CodecDiagnosed=

slamrTest=

CodecClass=

IDENT=hsfmodem

SLMODEMD_DEVICE=

OPTS=

Driver=hsfmodem-drivers

DRIVER=hsfmodem_drivers

What should I be looking at to communicate with the PCI modem?

Thanks!

ttyS0 is a real serial port and not the modem. Looks like you used a O and not a 0.

Here are the drivers for a hsf MODEM. You need to download the generic RPM package with source. The free version is limited to 14.4. I do not know if the driver still installs successfully with the latest kernels etc.
