pctel(789) mini HOWTO
This is how I got my pctel(789) modem working in RedHat 9.
This on a default install, choosing KDE instead of Gnome. I installed the developement packages, and choose PINE under text-based internet. (I like PICO)
Ive tried this three times so far, with three successful connections.
____________________________________________________
tar xvzf pctel-0.9.7-6.tar.gz
cd pctel
cd src
./configure -auto
lspci -v (to get I/O and IRQ of modem)
pico /etc/modules.conf (add whats below)
# for pctel modem
alias char-major-62 ptserial
below ptserial pctel
# country code for pctel modem
options ptserial country_code=33 irq=3 iobase=c000
cd driver (in pctel directory)
insmod -f pctel.o
insmod -f ptserial.o
rm /dev/ttyS15 /dev/modem
mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 62 79
chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS15
chmod 666 /dev/ttyS15
ln -s /dev/ttyS15 /dev/modem
add ATX3 to init field
set to Xon Xoff (software)
____________________________________________________
I also before I did any of this disabled COM2 in my Bios, and set my modem to use IRQ3.
