Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : ISA PNP modem (NOT Winmodem)
Hi!
I just installed Linux and have a USR Sporster 33.6 internal ISA modem.
It works perfectly under Windows98.
I determined the IO address and IRQ number from the Windows device manager.
How do I get the modem to function for use with kppp etc??
Thanx so much for your time,

You probably need to use the isapnp tool to initialise the card under linux before it will work. There should be an isapnp package that you can install, basically after installing you type:
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
then edit /etc/isapnp.conf and uncomment out the correct configuration, and make sure isapnp gets run when linux boots.
Can't be more help than that I'm afraid, the last time I needed to use isapnp was when i was a newbie and I couldn't get it to work http://discussions.linuxplanet.com//wink.gif

Hi!
I did use pnpdump and isapnp, but I still couldn't get the modem on to /dev/cua0,1 or 2. (When I tried to Query the modem in kppp, it said that it couldn't open the modem).
Is there anything else I need to do after isapnp?
Thanx,

If you are on the 2.2 Kernal, it does the PnP for you. All you have to do is under the device tab, set the modem device to /dev/ttyS2 if your modem is on Com 3 in Windows and /dev/ttyS3 if Com 4. If your com ports were set up correctly (mine was automatically) you should be alright. If they are not, read the modem HOWTO, specifically th part about setting up your com ports.
Finally figured it out, after isapnp I had to run setserial.
I was oblivious of the command before but after that things have been working well.
Thanx,
