Install software winmodem on linux

POST INSTALLATION:

I. Log into your "Root" account.

II. To determine resource settings.

Type the following command: cat /proc/pci
An example of the outcome will look like this;

    5.        Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x00000000.

    Bus 0, device 17, function 0:
        Communication controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 0).
        Vendor id=11c1.  Device id=480.
        Medium devsel.   Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 11.  Master Capable.
        No bursts.
                Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14
             Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe4000000.
             I/O at 0x6400.
             I/O at 0x6800.
             I/O at 0x6c00.

III. Take note of the IRQ, and FIRST I/O address, then type in this command;

    setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6400 irq 11

NOTE: THE IRQ AND PORT MAY VARY, IT IS DEPENDANT UPON THE RESULTS FROM STEP II


IV. To set Linux to configure the modem upon boot-up.

    There are several options.  One method is going to the /etc/rc.d/
    directory, and using an editing program such as "jed" or "pico" edit the
    rc.local file, and insert
    setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6400 irq 11
    as the last line.
