Mandrake 7.2 and a USR 56k ISA Faxmodem - A Little Help!

[Marek]

I am working on setting up my new USR ISA Faxmodem. I know that it is not a winmodem. Currently it is still in PnP mode, and I was wondering how I would set it up under linux. Thanks!

run the following in a console (as root):

pnpdump > isapnp.conf
isapnp > /etc/isapnp.conf

I think that's right. I am sure the second line is right. The first one I'm 99% sure.

Does HardDrake find it? If it does you can configure it from there.

Hardrake sees it, but I don't know what to do from there.

First you have to do:
setserial /dev/ttyS2
that will display what irq and IO you have for COM3
Then do :
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.cof
Then open up the isapnp.conf in your fav edit prog and un rem the IO and IRQ that was listed in the beging when you did setserial.
Also un rem the line near the end that says (ACT Y).
No reboot you box.
After you get it back up you need to type
setserial and set the UART....
Why am I typing all of this, they have a NFH that I used the first I did this. Use it and dont forget to set the right dev in kppp or whatever you are using......
If still stuck email me.

re-read groundzero's message, he tells you what to un-rem (remove the #).

[Marek]

I understand that, however, I don't know which lines to un-rem for the corrosponding io and IRQ.

[veloctTX]

He said to make sure you got the IO and IRQ that you got as a reply from setserial. Or you can just try to unrem one at a time until you find the one that works.

[Marek]

I'm just going to take the modem off of pnp, set the irq and com port by hand, and do it that way. It should be a lot less trouble.
