Modem problms

Post by carthurvena.. » Sun, 14 Feb 1999 04:00:00



Hello, sorry to bother everyone with another modem problem. BUT...I am
really interested in getting away from Windows...Here is my deal.  I
just installed Red Hat Linux 5.2 boxed set.  Evertyhing seems to be
going fine but I can't get my internal modem to work.  It is NOT a
winmodem, however, it is a PNP modem.  I have read every FAQ I can get
my hands on and i still can't figure it out.  I have fooled around
with the ISAPNP program for hours trying to get it to work, but to no
avail.   Someone, please help me get my modem to work.

My System:
AMD K6-266
64 MB SDRAM
32 MB EDO RAM
5.7 gb Maxtor HD ( partitioned with Win95b and RHL 5.2 )
Diamond Viper V330
Logicode 56K WINModem
Supra 288i PNP NON-WINModem
Sony 32x CD-ROM

Again, if anyone can help me configure the ISAPNP utility or whatever
it is that I need to initialize this modem ( the Supra) I would be
forever indebted and well on my way to leaving WIN95 behind for my
girlfriend to use :-)

sorry, dewd..56WP is a f*ckin winshitter, it uses comm.drv or the Logicode
equivalent in Win95, and there is NO driver to use that muck in NT
either....my advice?? *Toss it* or sell to the win95 handicapped....

Right, realize the Logicode (56k modem) is a winmodem,but the older
Supra 28.8 can be run from DOS, I am just having trouble getting it
set up. Or are you saying that I have to remove the Logicode one in
order to get the other one to work? That would suck...

if the suppra  does not have PnP enabled, it should work fine

        You didn't give enough info about the available system
resources.  I'd bet that you are running out of IRQs?  Do you have a
sound card in the machine too?  Do you have (and are you using) any of
your systems probable built-in serial ports? (they will take up an IRQ
also if enabled in the CMOS setup, whether you plug anything into them
or not)  You really need to lose the soft modem and replace it with a
good hardware based 56K modem, or an external one that actually USES
one of your built-in serial ports.  After doing that, you won't need
to have both of those modems in the machine at the same time.  BTW, do
you have a serial mouse, or a bus mouse, or a PS/2 mouse? (or none at
all???)  Your mouse/pointing device will need an IRQ also,  not to
mention all the standard system devices that use them, so you can
begin to see how you will need to get rid of the excess junk that
isn't being used, or even usable under any OS you will want to run.

1. rlogin problms

I am having problems getting rlogin to work.  I have set up the .rhosts
file with the id of each machine.  When I try to rlogin, the machine
appears to hang.  But, if I get on the remote machine directly and read
the secure log file, it thinks it has established a connection to the
first machine.  I have also used alt-Fx to go to another console and,
when I returned to the first console, had the remote login prompt
waiting for me.  This does not appear to be a timeout problem.  rsh
never comes back, for example (even if I use alt-f2 to go to another
console and come back).  It is acting as if some final buffer isn't
being sent, or something.  But I do not know enough to figure out what
isn't working.  

In summary, I know the .rhosts file is "sort of" set up properly because
on at least one occasion I got the remote login to trigger somehow
(perhpas related to using alt-f2 to go to a second console or perhaps
concidental to this).  BUT, it does not work like it is supposed to--it
usually goes off into never never land until the machine is rebooted.

any ideas?
