[Sheflug] Modem Stuff

[Richard <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

A friend of mine has come to the conclusion that he needed to update
his Linux system.  So, we did.

His modem was working fine until the new system was installed (yes,
we've all seen it before, you don't have to tell me). Now it just
doesn't like the new software.

The hardware in question is an external US Robotics 3 com 56K
faxmodem.  After reading the modem howto I've done 'setserial -g
/dev/ttyS* '  and this is what printed out.....

/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS10, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02b0, IRQ: 5, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS11, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02b8, IRQ: 5, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS12, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0330, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS13, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0338, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS14, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
/dev/ttyS15, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
/dev/ttyS16, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0100, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS17, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0108, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS18, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0110, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS19, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0118, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS20, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0120, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS21, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0128, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS22, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0130, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS23, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0138, IRQ: 12
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0x01a0, IRQ: 2, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS5, UART: unknown, Port: 0x01a8, IRQ: 2, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS6, UART: unknown, Port: 0x01b0, IRQ: 2, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS7, UART: unknown, Port: 0x01b8, IRQ: 2, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS8, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02a0, IRQ: 5, Flags: Fourport
/dev/ttyS9, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02a8, IRQ: 5, Flags: Fourport


I also did 'at' and it said something about timing being out.  Minicom
doesn't help at all.  Just says sort of "don't know mate".

I've tried to get him interested in ISDN which is easy to use with
Linux but he says that he wants to use his old modem - oh dear :(

Anyone give me a few clues here ?  If in fact it had previously been
installed with Windows then I would have thought that it was a
Winmodem but it was working fine with Linux.

Thanks


Richard
