The modem hangs off 0x2F8, with IRQ 3 the active interrupt request. 'setserial -a /dev/ttyS1' verifies this data.
But if I say (from root): # cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyS1 I get a "Permission denied" error, even though 'ls -l' shows /dev/ttyS1 to be read/writable by user&group. If I go to kermit and say [this if from the Serial-HOWTO]: c-kermit> set line /dev/ttyS1 c-kermit> set carrier-watch off c-kermit> set speed 115200 c-kermit> c the kermit-shell hangs and I do not get an OK prompt. But, if I toggle to another Linux screen and say # cat /proc/interrupts interrupt 3 is shown with a 0-count. As soon as kermit is killed, then interrupt 3 disappears from /proc/interrupts. All of this, BTW, happens after I successfully dial out from Win95, and reboot to Linux from the rescue floppy, ie, without powering off the CPU. -c ------ Original text -------- > I run Win95 and Linux 2.0.29 off separate hard drives > running off an AMD K6 platform.

Once the device is configured to a known location, either by your BIOS or by isapnptools, then it should work. What is the problem exactly when you try to use the modem? If the port doesn't seem to exist to Linux you might need to uncomment some parts of /etc/rc.boot/0setserial which from memory only enables the first two ports by default. I had a PnP modem working here while testing it, using isapnptools.
