If you have an ISA PnP modem that can be manually
assigned an IRQ and I/O port via jumpers, we recommend that you use the manual
method rather than Plug-and-Play.
The
devc-ser8250
driver should automatically detect the
modem, which should appear in the /dev directory
as serx, where x is an integer.
Note:
There may be more than one entry in
/dev under
the name
ser.
Assume that the first two represent
the comm ports of the system. Any additional entry is likely
the modem. However, if in doubt, try all
ser entries
with
qtalk.
For more information, see
"Testing Modems,"
below.
If the modem isn't detected, seek out the isapnp utility
to configure the modem's I/O port and IRQ, and then specify them when you
start devc-ser8250.
Note:
If you start a serial driver for a UART or modem when another serial driver
is already running, you need to use the -u option to give the
new driver a number to append to the device name so that it doesn't
conflict with any existing /dev/ser entry.
