Rep:
need help with a hardware modem
OK, first thanks for any help you can provide.
Simply stated I can't get my modem to dial out or repond in any way. I've read most of the How-Tos that I can find and have searched these boards extensively, but to no avail.
I'm a bit of a newbie, so please be gentle!
Here are my system specs and my dmesg:
==Mother Board==
Intel T440BX Server Board
==CPU==
Pentium III 550
==Memory==
128MB
==Kernal==

??serial port=ttyS0, I/O=0x03f8, IRQ=4, UART=16550A??

Rep:
would a moderator be so kind as to change the name of the thread to, "need help with a hardware modem", not "need help with a software modem." Must have been a Freudian slip as I was thinking, "I thought software modems were supposed to be the difficult ones to get working?"
