did you try with other OS?? -----Original Message----- From: arson smith [mailto:arsonsmith@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2000 3:38 PM To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: external serial modem Is there anything to look for if an external serial modem will not work under linux. I don't think there are win-external modems are there? It won't seem to recognize though. I have checked setserial it says: /dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A trying to connect pppd to either of them just returns nodialtone. although there is a dialtone through the modem as plugging in a phone to the output gives a dialtone. anyideas would be of great help.
