Hi,

I have SupraExpress 56K Internal modem which uses com3, irq5,
03E8-03EF for input and output, and I'm having a problem setting up
ppp. I get the following error message

tcgetattr: I/O error

Sounds like it has a problem talking to my modem. I'm using Slackware
version (Linux 2.0.30), and my pppd version is 2.2.0, and my pppsetup
version is version 1.66.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you can help me out. Thanks!

The question is, are you using isapnp to set the port and irq and
/etc/rc.d/rc.serial to tell Linux where it is when you boot? Note
that rc.serial is not run by default in Slackware. You have to
uncomment a line near the end of one of the other files.

If you [shift-page up] after logging in, there should be a boot
message showing the proper irq if you did it right,
