LinuxQuestions.org - Modem Help Please

I think that may be a hardware modem.

# Configuring a real hardware pci modem
To configure a pci modem, open an x terminal and su - to the root account:

Code:

[fancy@tinwhistle fancy]$ su -

Password: 

[root@tinwhistle root]# cat /proc/pci

Look for your modem in the returned list. Look for something similar to mine:

Code:

  Bus  2, device  2, function  0:

    Communication controller: PCI device 151f:0000 (TOPIC SEMICONDUCTOR Corp) (rev 0).

      IRQ 5.

      I/O at 0xc400 [0xc407].

With this info, I use the setserial command:

Code:

[root@tinwhistle root]# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc400 uart 16550a

Then I test the modem with the internet connection wizard and it works. I edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and enter the setserial command:

Code:

[root@tinwhistle root]# pico -w /etc/rc.d/rc.local

My file for an example

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Redhat /etc/rc.d/rc.local file

# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.

# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't

# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.



touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# configure modem

setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc400 uart 16550a

Now, it remains configured after a reboot.

Just in case I am wrong..
