Red Hat 7.0 Internal Modem not reconized

mahoney · 07-27-2001, 11:08 AM

Hi,
I Have an Internal Us robotics 56k Modem w/o voice
when rh dialer (from within X) tries to detect modem it is unable to. when I cat/proc ioports & interrupts it isn't there. Which probably explains why dialer can't see it.
Is there a way where I can make a device or get my machine to reconize the modem ?

Thanks,

Do you know if this is a true hardware modem? If its not (and hence a WinModem) then you're gonna have a battle on you hands. Search the forum for mention of WinModem and have a look at http://www.linmodems.org for more details.

cheers

Yeah, from the linmodems.org, go to this link http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html and look at the list, its the huge list on whether telling you if your modem is a winmodem or not and if it can work in Linux if it is a winmodem.

Good Luck.

us robotics has one of the few internal pci hard-modems, but many of their modems are soft... try

lspci -v

and see what it gives you on the modem... i should be able to tell you if it's a winmodem or not from the output.

This what I got when I did a "lspci -v"

02:0a.0 Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: US Robotics/3Com USR 56k Internal FAX Modem (Model 2977)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9
I/O ports at b400
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

I guess I'm confused why when I did a "cat /proc/pci" I didn't see Modem.
You think it might be BIOS setting ?

Thanks
