3C2976 56k v.90 PCI modem & linux

[EcoR1]

Is there any way to get this darned PCI modem to work in linux? Ive tried
using setserial /dev/ttys1 irq 11 port 0xE400 autoconfig skip_test, which
should be the correct irq, and port for the modem but kPPP doesnt see a
modem on ttyS1.... Any ideas?

Thanks,

it really sounds like you are making this too hard.

if you're using normal modem and your distro's default kernel you should just be able to use pppconfig to set up your connection and pon and poff to connect and disconect.

modems aren't like ethernet cards where everyone uses completely different chipsets. so you shouldn't have to mess around so much with your drivers etc.

Hardware or software modem?

Hardware should work.

Software, then it's a winmodem. Read the modem NHF here or visit www.winmodems.org (http://www.winmodems.org) or linmodems.org

Its not a Software modem but whats called a PCI Controller modem... Im going to try to install 2.4.0 tonight and see if that helps any...

Well upgraded to 2.4.0, and at least I can get the modem to communicate now, however Im trying to get PPP working.. I try debugging with minicom to see if I can even get PPP from the ISP, and I get login: <username> then I press enter, and I get *Host Currently Unavailble*. and hung up.. However when I went into windows I connected no problem.. And BTW I did try Several times and I got the same thing in minicom.. Any Ideas?

Could be the authentication problem. Try using PAP and CHAP in different time and see what happens.

Just a followup:

I tried CHAP, PAP, and even using a script.. All have failed Here is what I get as a log on my pppd script:

localhost chat[1287]: ATZ^M^M
localhost chat[1287]: OK
localhost chat[1287]: -- got it
localhost chat[1287]: send (ATD555-5555^M)
localhost chat[1287]: timeout set to 60 seconds
localhost chat[1287]: expect (CONNECT)
localhost chat[1287]: ^M
localhost chat[1287]: ATD555-5555^M^M
localhost chat[1287]: CONNECT
localhost chat[1287]: -- got it
localhost chat[1287]: send ()
localhost pppd[1286]: Serial connection established.
localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-3
localhost pppd[1286]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Invalid argument(22)
localhost pppd[1286]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
localhost pppd[1286]: Exit.

I also got the same error on kPPP:

localhost pppd[1354]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
localhost pppd[1354]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Invalid argument(22)
localhost pppd[1354]: Exit.

Any ideas? Im so CLOSE!!
