Okay...
I did the following:
mknod /dev/ttys0 c 4 64
chmod go+rw /dev/ttys0
chgrp tty /dev/ttys0
echo "ATDT5551111" > /dev/ttys0
and my modem on com1 (as you probably deduced) did not dial. That was
when it was a 2400 baud modem. I bought a 9600 baud modem (not just to
fix the problem, mind you) and did the same. Neither case dialed, and
when I did:
cat /dev/ttys0
"ATDT5551111" was echoed. My modem seems not to be accepting commands.
Someone said something about an 8250A (or something, I don't remember)
chip that was not the same as an 8250 chip, and that that may be causing
the problem. If so, do both of my modems have this 'A' chip in them?
Can I fix it in _any way_? I'm trying to create a dialin line for
linux, and everything else is going wonderfully except for this one
problem.
I am running bootimage 96c and rootimage 96c. I have 4 MB memory, on an
Omega 386DX/33. The modem works fine from DOS, so I am therefore
confused.
HEY! Thanks a lot to anyone who can respond and help me out. I'm kinda
new to all of this, and the reason certain things are not working is
probably linearly proportional to the amount of stupidity that I have
between my ears... ;-) Help!
Thanks a zillion in advance!
