Very Computer

I have Linux 1.2.13 (RedHat). How do I get it to recognize the Supra 28.8i
PnP modem? I've looked at the pnp stuff on Redhat's server, and found
nothing which helped (I tried compiling the pnptools, but they didn't get
things working properly).

Any hints????

I messed around in Win95 and somehow it set the modem to use IRQ 11
and COM4.  However, when I booted Linux, it showed that the modem
was using IRQ 3 or 4.  Apparently linux just assumes that COM3 and COM4
are using the same IRQs as COM1 and COM2.  This stuff is explained
in the Serial-HOWTO.  Anyway, this line straight from the HOWTO fixed
it:

setserial /dev/cua3 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig

That tells Linux to attempt to figure out what IRQ COM4 (/dev/cua3) is on
and set it properly.
If you now do

setserial -a /dev/cua3

it should show the correct IRQ.  You'll probably also want to do

setserial /dev/cua3 spd_vhi

so that you can use the fastest speed possible with the modem.

I saw something mentioned on the Supra Web site about a way to disable
the PnP feature of the modem, but I did not try that option.
