Sorry about sending to the LPD group, I at first thought it was a &quot;help
line&quot; I do appericate the e-mails that you have sent me, however. They
pointed me in the right direction and I got my modem working after figuring
out WTF I was doing. If you would like I could type up a doc on it, but it
was not much really. Just this:
Check what the modem is set to in Windows (COM3, IRQ5, 03E8)
At console:
pnpdump &gt; /etc/isapnp.conf
ln -s /dev/ttyS2/dev/modem
setserial /dev/ttyS2
Console responds with:
&quot;/dev/ttyS2 Port: COM3 UART: 16550A Port: 0x03e8 IRQ: 4&quot;
setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x03e8 irq 5
Works like a charm except it is not sticky. I have to do that every time I
restart... but someone said something about a rc.local file and that I had
to edit it. Not sure where that is or what to put.. but I will find it.
I appericate your help, thank you very much.
Casey Cain.

&gt; Hello Casey Cain,
&gt;
&gt; I too have a Best Data Products internal PnP modem. Normally PnP
modems
&gt; rarely work under Linux. I had to work for about 15 days to get it work
&gt; under Linux. Don't worry, I will tell you what I have done. (You'll need
&gt; Windows installed)
&gt;
&gt; 1. Tell the BIOS that you are not using a PnP OS from the CMOS setup.
&gt;
&gt; 2. Now start Windows and let it reconfigure. See the settings (IRQ) for
COM
&gt; port to which the modem is connected from the System Properites.
&gt;
&gt; 3. Now start Linux. As the kernel boots, you should notice that it has
&gt; detected three serial ports instead of the usual two. At this stage, you
may
&gt; also need to reconfigure Linux, if you use RedHat 6.1.
&gt;
&gt; 4. Now set the IRQ of your modem port (probably /dev/ttyS2) to that set up
&gt; in Windows. For eg. if it was 10 then give the command
&gt;
&gt; # setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10
&gt;
&gt; 5. Now see if the modem can be detected by using the command &quot;wvdialconf&quot;.
&gt; If it finds a modem on one of the ports, it will inform you.
&gt;
&gt; For more information, refer to the Modem-HOWTO, PnP-HOWTO and other
related
&gt; documents at the LDP site <A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org">http://www.linuxdoc.org</A>
&gt;
&gt; In case the above info. was useful to setup your modem please send a mail
to
&gt; me.
&gt;
&gt; Well, to be strict, you will not get any such technical information about
&gt; Linux from this discussion list.(The HOWTO's are there for that). But I
just
&gt; decided to reply to this one.
&gt;
&gt; &gt;I have a ISA modem; Motorola VoiceSURFR 56K Internal PnP... and well
&gt; &gt;simply put, I am having some difficulty getting it setup. I have tried
(I
&gt; &gt;think) every COM port (if that is what that /dev/ttyS0 and other listings
&gt; &gt;in KPPP Setup under the KDE desktop are) and all I seem to get for a
&gt; &gt;response is &quot;Modem is Busy&quot; or &quot;Sorry, the modem did not respond.&quot;
&gt;
&gt; &gt;Thank you very much,
&gt; &gt;Casey Cain
