Hello,
I recently bought an modem off of Ebay and recieved it today. I hooked it up and everything, It was an Zoom 56k Modem (Serial) And it didnt come with any software either. How can I get Linux to recongize I have an Serial Port External Modem. I have an Internal Winmodem that came with my computer ,and I dont want it to look for that. Because whenever I try to connect with the Internal it says "Sorry, Modem Busy". How do I get it to recongize my External modem and not my Internal?
Thanks for you time.

Make sure whatever software you're using points to ttyS0 (com1 in DOS) or ttyS1 (com2 in DOS). You also might need to redirect the symbolic link /dev/modem to the correct port if it doesn't reference the port number directly. Typically, internal modems use ttyS2 or ttyS3 and external modems use ttyS0 or ttyS1.
