first i'm assuming it does not work ...period
is the modem on /dev/cua0 or /dev/cua1 (com1 or com2 under dos)
does the sym link /dev/modem exist and point to the correct /dev/cua port?
is the modem internal or external?
an external modem is ok, but if its an internal one (set to say com2), you
might
be having a conflict with the com2 port on the back of your machine (if this
is the case, try disabling com2 in the bios).
ok so far?
try using minicom
bob:~$ minicom
does the TR light come on the modem? (assuming its an external one)
this means the computer has made a "connection" to the modem.
if yes, you could be on track, no means there is a problem
elsewhere....cable?
try:-
ATE1Q0 ....turns on modem response to the screen
if you get no reponse the modem might require Carrier Detect to be always
on..... AT&C1
set it in the initialisation string.
if this works....great...the world is you oyster....and PPP dialups too...8)
if not...anyone else any ides?
