attributed to Internet users who can't afford high-speed permanent

This chapter is intended to help all people who rely on modems
|
|
to maintain their link to the outside world. We won't cover the
|
|
mechanics of how to configure your modem (the manual that came with it
|
|
will tell you more about it than we can), but we will cover most of
|
|
the Linux-specific aspects of managing devices that use serial
|
|
ports. Topics include serial communications software, creating the
|
|
serial device files, serial hardware, and configuring serial devices
|
|
using the <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>setserial</B
|
|
> and <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>stty</B
|
|
>
|
|
commands. Many other related topics are covered in the Serial HOWTO
