I have the same problem with my modem - somebody else asked the
same question on this group a few weeks ago but nobody seems to
have found a solution.
This is my configuration:
AST 386, internal 2400 modem on COM2 (works fine with Dos and Minix),
tested under Linux 0.12-0.96. The builtin COM2 is marked as disabled
in the setup menu to avoid a conflict. (For Linux this does not
change anything).
The modem is ignored totally, I do not even get garbage or anything,
so I do not think that this is an installation problem. (Yes, I
have set up /dev/ttys2 as 4/65). It acts rather like /dev/null
(except that it does not output any EOFs). The other serial line
works okay.
This is the output of `stty </dev/ttys2':
| speed 2400 baud; line = 0;
| min = 1; time = 0;
| -cread
| -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel
| -opost -onlcr
| -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke
I hope that somebody finds a solution (other than buying a new
modem :-( ), because my hard disk is rather crowded with three
operating systems, and I would like to move completely to
Linux. (Thanks to everybody involved!)
