there are several PCI modems usable under linux, i believe.
Find below how to do it
***INSTALLATION OF V90 PCI LUCENT VENUS BASED MODEM***
I. After physically installing the modem, log into your "Root" account.
II. To determine resource settings.
Type the following command: cat /proc/pci
An example of the outcome will look like this;
5. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x00000000.
Bus 0, device 17, function 0:
Communication controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 0).
Vendor id=11c1. Device id=480.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master
Capable.
No bursts.
Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe4000000.
I/O at 0x6400.
I/O at 0x6800.
I/O at 0x6c00.
III. Take note of the IRQ, and FIRST I/O address, then type in this
command;
setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6400 irq 11
NOTE: THE IRQ AND PORT MAY VARY, IT IS DEPENDANT UPON THE RESULTS FROM
STEP II
IV. To set Linux to configure the modem upon boot-up.
There are several options. One method is going to the /etc/rc.d/
directory, and using an editing program such as "jed" edit the
rc.local file, and insert
setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6400 irq 11
as the last line.
OK
