I am a new Debian user and am having problems getting my modem to work. Setserial finds the ports fine during startup but when I either run minicom or try to start a ppp session there is no response from the modem. I have a USR internal sporster which is not a winmodem, but to be safe i hooked up my old external modem and all i get is that the terminal ready light goes on and stays on...no response to any AT strings. I recently installed slink on an old 486 and have the same problem sometimes, but I assumed it was due to the slow 25sx processor and 16450 uarts, it usually worked after a few minutes after booting. The latest install is on a P2-400 with 16550A uarts so I am stumped. Should I change any of the flags on setserial? I've played around with the skip-test and speed settings with no luck. The internal doesn't work in the 486 either...good thing i tried it as i was plannig on upgrading to a 56k modem for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am itching to finish the ftp install and see what Linux can do on a fast machine.
