my friend use a 12€ conexant modem, we bought a driver from linuxant in order to make RH9 work. The driver cost 13€ but the installation is painless. The same modem work better in linux than in windows.

They accept paypal payment.

I have a PROLINK 8000 ADSL modem. No Linux support except a driver for RedHat 7.2 ! This is now too old!
Anyone using this medem who had better luck?
I wish to have one which works with Debian so i can apt-get happily

"Step 3: getting it to work
# cd /dev; test -c ttyS4 || ./MAKEDEV ttyS4; chmod 666 /dev/ttyS4
# setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0x80000 irq 11 baud_base 115200 spd_vhi skip_test
# ln -sf /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem"

Hey this was great! I used your commands except I put in my own irq and port and it worked. Even Yast was able to recognize the modem once I done this. Only one problem. I have to do this every time I boot up. How can I install this information permanently?

# ln -sf /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem"

used this commandline but for some reason had to add in
"setserial /dev/ttyS4/ port 0xd400 irq 10 autoconfig"

Also I do not know how to save it so I do the same thing every time I boot.

Hmm.... I don't know why you have to redo this ever time. What are you using to dial your isp (kinternet, kppp)? You could just type those commands into a shell script and if your wm is kde put it in the autostart folder.

Right now I am using wvdial. Wvdial is not the problem though, it recognizes the modem everytime without the command line but it has a Nameserver (DNS) failure and says the connection may not work.

So I turned to my hardware installer "Yast" but it won't recognize the modem until I put in your command line. Still, after that, I am unable to browse.

I plan to install minicom for dialer eventually but I want to get the thing surfing first.

i am trying to install an expansion card which has two serial ports, and when i disable my on-board serial ports linux automatically picks up the new ports, so the kernal does recognize the hardware, however if my on-board serial ports are enabled i cannot setserial to add the new parts. every time i try the following:

/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x03e8 irq 9 uart 16550

i get the following message:
LSR safety check engaged!

if it helps i am running rehat 8.0 2.4.18-14
Thanks,
