Re: Modem help


Also, if you put the modem into your box and you can see a TTY appear in
the boot dmesg(dmesg|grep -i tty), then linux has recognized and
assigned it to a serial interface and you should be good to go.

My modem is recognized. It is a different card than before.

$dmesg | grep -i tty
console [tty0] enabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
00:05: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A


The above is not proof that a modem is recognized. It is proof that two
serial ports exist on the system. One port may actually be a modem, or
it may not.

I see two serial ports, does your machine have two physical serial
ports. Are they conflicting with your modem perchance?

Does the user have permission to use serial ports? I think you have to
be member of the uucp group to read/write to a serial port?
