ISA modem config in SuSE 7.1

[Lend273]

I finally got my ISA modem to work in SuSE.
However it resets when I reboot and I have to
open a terminal and type the setserial command every time.
How can I get it to setseial auotmatically.
The SuSe documentation tells me to enter a line in /sbin/init.d/serial but I can't find that file anywhere.
Thanks for the help.

What happens if you create the file and put the setserial command(s) in it? Also, why are you rebooting your Linux machine? ;)

In case anyone is interested I got my modem working by doing the following:

Make sure you know what port and irq your modem is set to. You can find this info in Windows control panel under Modem.

In SuSe 7.1 go to /etc/init.d/serial

Comment out the line that initiates autocinfig in the top portion of the file
under Automatic Configuration.

In the Manual configuration section add the line in the Com 1 through 4 section
insert the line:

setserial /dev/ttySx irq x
where x is the value placed to these in your particular machine.

My modem is on com3 irq 5 so my line is:

setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5

This enable the right irq and port every time
I boot the machine.
Modem works like a charm.
