Ltmodem install_4

[Leoslocks]

I purchased an Actiontec 56K internal PCI modem because it states Linux approved. The instructions give configuring data for Red Hat 5.2 and 6.0.
I am running Mandrake 7.2 kernel 2.2.17 or something like that.

The ./MAKEDEV ttyS4 did not work? Com 1 is ttyS4 and I suspect I may need to make the modem ttyS5. . . . . .
the next line in the inst's is "Note: there is no MAKEDEV in OpenLinux. In this case. the commands will be as follows (as root)

mknod /dev/ttyS4 c 4 68

Next steps:

ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem

chmod 666 /dev/ttyS4

chmod 666 /dev/modem

cat /proc/pci

Here is what I get only it doesnt show an IRQ for the modem(pci device)

Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Communication controller: Lucent (ex-AT&T) Microelectronics L56DV+P (rev 0).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable. No bursts. M
in Gnt=252.Max Lat=14.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd5000000 [0xd5000000].
I/O at 0xa000 [0xa001].
I/O at 0x9800 [0x9801].
I/O at 0x9400 [0x9401].
Bus 1, device 0, function 0:

When trying to setserial I end up with a busy port. Next inst's are to try minicom:

See if this helps
Lt win Modem (http://walbran.org/sean/linux/stodolsk/)

Been there three times already but it makes much more sense this time. I am not sure this is a winmodem but some of the things at the site are worth trying till I learn a little more about the language.

Thanks Shad, my modem is up and working, on to setting up an internet connection and then getting Q3 on this machine.

Nothing like a little success to satisfy the soul. My issue involved changing the Bios setting to NON PnP. Then the modem was assigned an IRQ. When I did cat /proc/pci the modem and its location was listed.
setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port ****** irq **
Now I have a modem that works.
Now I need to set up an internet connection.
