RE: Motorola Modem Surfer

[Steve Cody <SCody Gulbrandsen com>]

I just remembered that when I put a different external modem on it, a
different brand (I can't remember), it worked fine.  Just not the Boca.
This is the second time/second machine that I have had a problem with
external Boca modems with Linux.

I cannot start Minicom.  It gives me an error about /dev/modem not existing.
I will try the setserial, and the echo command.  I didnt' know I could do
the "echo xxxxx >...." with Linux.
Thanks

Steve

Have you tried minicomm or some other terminal program.
Use them to test the modem<->PC connection. Then debug
the chat scripts for ppp/slip connections.

Another good test for the modem, is
  echo "ATDT 1234" >/dev/ttyS1
and see if it tries to dial.
ttyS1 is for COM1

Look at the setserial program to configure
the serial port too.
