I have upgraded my RedHat Linux 6.2fr to 7.0. My modem is internal, based on a Modio chipset, called MR2800. While trying to access it, I get a message explaining tha the modem is busy. My computer is a Packard Bell "Club 2500c", including a SigmaTel card. In Windows, the modem is located on COM3:. ****** I do not know the component name *****
Sorry, I have forgotten to include that the Modio chipset is included in a Smartlink card. Here is a message I have sent to the manufacturer, I think, but I did not get any answer... ************************************************************* Hello, I have got a Modio modem with my Packard Bell computer. The ID, for Windows 98, is MR2800, and the ATI commands return : ATI1 MR2800 Data Fax Modem, SMARTLINK, Ver 2.60.00PB ATI2 SMARTLINK, Ver 2.60.00PB MO ATI3 SMARTLINK SIL-22(Sec on ICH 82801AA ... ATI7 Country: FRANCE Serial Number 98638029 Protocol Factor 69e971b9 Note that it has been replaced a few days ago, due to an hardware failure. First point: I would like to know, please, if there is an updated version of the driver for Windows 98, especially if it could manage voice & data, instead of only data in the standard PB driver. Second point: My computer has a double boot, with Linux (RedHat 7.0). The modem is not recognised by this system. It is connected to Com3 under Windows, so I indicate /dev/ttyS2 under Linux, but I receive a message from the system explaining that the modem is busy. With a terminal session, I cannot communicate with the modem. Is there a special driver or do I have to do a special setup ? Best regards, Jean-Dominique Delyon, Annecy, France.
Sorry again: The address was gary
Modems are not configured by the installer, reassigning to kudzu.
We cannot help you at *all* with any questions about the Windows driver. As for recognizing it under Linux, is it a PCI or ISA modem?
The information concerning Windows was only for information, not for reporting a problem. (between "***************" and "best regards") When I look at the configuration, through the Windows utility, sorted by connection, the modem is directly connected the the PCI bus (like the AC97 sound card, for instance). But NOT through a PCI to ISA bus. Refer to bug report #20673 for the PCI configuration.
Your modem appears to be a winmodem of some sort. It won't work under Linux, sorry.
