hello,

I'm using red hat linux release 5.2
Kernel 2.0.36

I have a problem with linux detecting my modem. Well, I believe that's
what the problem is.

First off, my linux is running on a compaq 1680 laptop. The modem is
already installed in the computer.

Within windows, the modem is COM 2, which i thought was /dev/cua1

I've set the /dev/cua1 to COM2 via the modem tool. Then, I try use
statserial to see if it's detected.

here is my result

statserial: TIOCMGET failed: Input/output error

well, I assume that isn't what is supposed to happen.

I decdied to try the serial port, which is COM1

so i type this

and the output is this.

Device: /dev/cua0
signal pin pin direction status full
name (25) (0) (computer) Name
------- ----- ---- -------------- ---------
-----------
FG 1 - - - Frame Ground

TxD 2 3 out - Transmit Data
RxD 3 2 in - Receive Data
RTS 4 7 out 1 Request to Send

CTS 5 8 in 0 Clear to Send
DSR 6 6 in 0 Data Set Ready

GND 7 5 - - Signal Ground

DCD 8 1 in 0 Data Carrier
Detect
DTR 20 4 out 1 Data Terminal
REady
RI 22 9 in 0 Ring
Indicator

Is there something wrong ? should i try something different to
configure my modem?

It may be a winmodem; if so you are out of luck. If you can
get the modem to work if you boot up your laptop under MS-DOS
alone, i.e., no Windows, then it ought to work under Linux.
