Modem Installation

[warmongr]

I have a 3Com 56k voice/fax (not winmodem) installed under Linux 6.1 Redhat.&nbsp;&nbsp;I previously had this modem on a 200 Mhz with Mandrake 6.0 and it worked fine on ttyS0.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now I am installing it on a PIII 550.&nbsp;&nbsp;dmesg shows:<br><br><br>Serial driver version 4.27 with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled<br>ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A<br>ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A<br>ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A<br><br>of course there is no ttyS00 - ttyS02 under /dev/<br>and all attempts to query ttyS0 - ttyS2 tell me that the modem is not responding.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I query ttyS3 it tells me the modem is busy.&nbsp;&nbsp;The COM port under windows is com3.<br><br>what do I do next?&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you help?<br><br>war...<br><br>

Can't you use insmod to create them?&nbsp;&nbsp;And besides, I thought it was:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>/dev/ttyS0<br>/dev/ttyS1<br>/dev/ttyS2<br>/dev/ttyS3<br></font>not<FONT FACE=monospace><br>/dev/ttyS00<br>/dev/ttyS01<br>/dev/ttyS02<br>/dev/ttyS0</font> <p>REH<br><a href=mailto:hawkdogg@crosswinds.net>hawkdogg@crosswinds.net</a><br><a href=

Not sure how to create /dev/ entries with insmod and ordinarily you would be correct however this modem is showing up as I've explained.&nbsp;&nbsp;The ttyS00 relates to ttyS0 or Com1 etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've found references to the same on deja however nothing has helped so far.<br><br>Thanks REH
