Modem - USR V.Everything

[martymac]

Using Linux SuSE 8.1 - doesn't recognize modem. Tried Wvdial getting error code "no modem present.

My System:
AMD PC-133 SDRAM 1000 MHz
384 MB RAM
Maxtor 20GB HDD
U.S. Robotics V.Everything ISA PNP Modem
Linux SuSE 8.1
Dual O.S. Win XP & Linux.

IWin XP installs modem on Com 4, IRQ5. How do I tell SuSE where to install modem?

Modemless in Seattle

Have you tried the ISA modem JL Help File (http://justlinux.com/nhf/Modems/Configuring_Your_ISA_External_or_PCI_Modem.html)?

Is it jumperless? If so, use the dos configuration utility on the driver diskette/cd to disable ISA PnP and change the irq and i/o address to whatever is available on your system.

cat /proc/interrupts

cat /proc/ioports

Will tell you what is currently being used.

I tried using xterm and found the following:
cat /proc/interrups:

1: XT-PIC keyboard
2: XT-PIC cascade
8: XT-PIC rtc
9: XT-PIC acpier
11: XT-PIC YMFPCIr
12: XT-PIC usb-uhci,
14: XT-PIC ide0
15: XT-PIC ide1

cat /proc/ioports:

Does it have jumpers or is it jumperless and has a dos based configuration utilitly?

Well I'm sorry that I bothered. Nobody else has replied and I do not have or have ever used a modem in Linux.

You need to either change the jumpers to whatever irq and i/o address is available on your system or use the dos based configuration utility (if jumperless).

Want me to come over and do it for you? :)

Modum is PnP
Startup display info reveals same thing as cat /proc/isapnp & proc//inturrupts: Active port 0x2e8; irq 3

using setserial dev/ttyS1 uart 165560A 0x3e8 irq 5
answer cannot set serial into: Operation not permitted

using setserial dev/ttyS2 uart 165560A 0x3e8 irq 5
answer no such device

What DOS should I use in SuSE 8.1, I thought we were using "C"?

ISAPNP modem has jumpers: set to com 2, irq 3; SuSE wouldn't recognize it.
set jumpers to com 3, irq 4; SuSE recognized it.

cat /proc/isapnp
Active port 0x2e8
Active IRQ 3

cat /proc/interrupts
0: 101050 timer
1: 1671 keyboard
2: 0 cascade
3: 4 serial
8 2 rtc

cat /proc/ioports
0213-0213 : isapnp read
02f8-02ff : serial(auto)
0376-0367 : ide1
03e8-02ff : serial(auto)
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f8-03ff : serial(auto)
0a79-0a79 : isapnp write

How will this work when I configure modem in YaST2 to ttyS0 when hardware is jumpered to com3 but software sees it as com 2???
