[ILUG-BOM] Re: modem driver for linux

Sometime Today, prithviraj chauhan assembled some asciibets to say:

i have a conexent modem hsf 56k chip no rs56/sp-pc/11p1 which i am not able to configure for linux

i am not familiar with this modem, but what is the problem that you are having? normally, modems work as generic devices. have you tried connecting with minicom?

you can try the following:

as root, echo AT > /dev/ttyS0 (or whichever is your modem port), and see if the lights come out (if you have an external modem).

start minicom (as root), and configure it to use the correct port. (try the help if you don't know how). Then type AT<enter>. You should get a response of OK.

Try dialling from here: ATDT<phoneno><enter> disconnect by typing +++ or ATH
