I am running a new installation of Sid and can't seem to get the modem up.[snip]
I tried setserial as follows: setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xdfe0 irq 22 autoconfig ln -sf /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
I followed this with "pppd call provider". I don't believe it activated the modem.
Any thoughts as to how I might proceed?
Try to get the modem working with minicom. It's been a while since I used a dialup modem, but this was always how I got things going.
Minicom is a terminal emulation program, much like hyperterminal for windows or the old DOS terminal emulation programs we used to use in the old days (was it Telix? can't remember).
Anyway, load that up with "minicom -s" as root, and configure it with your serial port, and a phone number etc. Then try dialing out.
If that doesn't work, then you know the problem's somewhere with your modem setup. If it does work, you know it's a prob with the way you've set up pppd.
Cheers,
Rob.
