Hi Debian users,
First, I didn't know very well yet manipulate ioports and interrupts. I
bought a 56.6Kbs Motorola V.90 (SM56) modem and tried the package wvdial to
detect my modem and it didn't detected. My mouse is at /dev/ttyS0 and the output
of the wvdialconf program is:
phantasy:/home/paulo# wvdialconf create
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
Port Scan<*1>: Ignoring ttyS0 because /dev/mouse is a link to it.
ttyS1<*1>: AT -- AT -- AT -- nothing.
Port Scan<*1>: S2 S3
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
The output of the comand cat /proc/interrupts is:
phantasy:/home/paulo# cat /proc/interrupts
0: 110704 timer
1: 3765 keyboard
2: 0 cascade
4: 5038 + serial
5: 31 sound blaster
13: 1 math error
14: 14685 + ide0
15: 45164 + ide1
At boot there is a message about serial ports:
tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
The output of the comand cat proc/ioports is:
0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard

The modem manual is very short and don't say anything about jumpers and
IRQ's.
Any hints? Has someone the same modem that could help me?
Have a nice day, Paulo Henrique
