Very Computer

Hello,

I am attempting to set up a new USRobotics 56k internal modem.  However,
when I enter the command "setserial /dev/ttyS2 16550A,"  the modem connects
to the phone line and dials out.  What is going on, and how can I get
through the rest of the configuration process?

Thanks for your help in advance

Could it be that modem is set up to auto-dial some number with DTR or
DSR pulse? I'm not sure but setserial might cause reassertion of one of
those lines (while resetting serial port).

Bill,

I suspect your linuxconf has things set up so that there's an automatic redial
when connection is lost. Sorry I can't be more specific, but such a feature
can get enabled for some reason., and it's kind of obvious when you see it.
Somehow the neighboring feature to dial when the machine boots also became
enabled.  Rattled my cage for a while ;-)
