Linux Modem Question

[BiKeBoY]

I have just dual booted my machine with caldera linux 2.3. Problem is I cannot get my diamond supra express 336i (isa) sp modem to work and not quite sure how to. I am sure it is not a winmodem. 99%. I know that you can use isapnp tto configure, but i havent a clue how to.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks V Much

Also be sure to go into your bios setup and make sure the option "PNP OS installed" is set to "no". There are quite a few people that have solved their problems by just doing that.

If your modem can be jumpered to non-PNP then do it: set the jumpers to COM2 IRQ3. Go into BIOS and disable the onboard COM/serial port 2. Next (in Linux)run "lisa" (type in lisa and press enter)in a terminal window choose system/hardware configuration and set the modem to COM2. It should work now, but you will have to also tell Kppp about your modem.
