Slackware 10.2, kernel 2.6.16 Suddenly I cannot access my modem. Minicom will just stay offline. efax version 0.9 minicom version 2.1 Giving command: fax receive I get: efax: 12:25 opened /dev/modem efax: 12:25 Error: tcgetattr on fd=3 failed: Input/output error efax: 12:25 Error: fax device write: Input/output error efax: 12:29 Error: fax device write: Input/output error efax: 12:31 sync: dropping DTR efax: 12:31 Error: tcgetattr on fd=3 failed: Input/output error efax: 12:31 Error: tcgetattr on fd=3 failed: Input/output error efax: 37:31 Error: sync: modem not responding efax: 37:31 Error: tcgetattr on fd=3 failed: Input/output error efax: 37:31 done, returning 2 (unrecoverable error) There were errors (see 0717143714.log). I tried it with kernel 2.4.31, it will not work either. I moved over to Fedora4, same machine, same HD. Minicom is on-line and dials and pppd dialing is working as well, meaning there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Here is the output of lsmod in Fed4 w/o the snd_ bits: Module Size Used by md5 4033 1 ipv6 268097 8 parport_pc 28933 1 lp 13001 0 parport 40585 2 parport_pc,lp autofs4 29253 2 it87 23521 0 eeprom 7377 0 i2c_sensor 3521 2 it87,eeprom i2c_isa 2241 0 rfcomm 42333 0 l2cap 30661 5 rfcomm bluetooth 56133 4 rfcomm,l2cap sunrpc 167813 1 ipt_REJECT 5569 1 ipt_state 1857 4 ip_conntrack 41497 1 ipt_state iptable_filter 2881 1 ip_tables 19521 3 ipt_REJECT,ipt_state,iptable_filter ide_scsi 18761 0 scsi_mod 148105 1 ide_scsi dm_mod 58101 0 video 15941 0 button 6609 0 ac 4805 0 uhci_hcd 35152 0 ehci_hcd 41037 0 shpchp 94405 0 i2c_viapro 8017 0 i2c_core 21569 5 it87,eeprom,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa,i2c_viapro snd_via82xx 30081 1 gameport 18633 1 snd_via82xx soundcore 10913 2 snd via_rhine 28361 0 mii 5441 1 via_rhine dmfe 23525 0 floppy 65269 0 ext3 132553 3 jbd 86233 1 ext3 And here lsmod of Slack: Module Size Used by Not tainted i2c-dev 3620 0 (unused) i2c-core 12676 0 [i2c-dev] snd-pcm-oss 36736 0 snd-mixer-oss 12376 2 [snd-pcm-oss] pci_hotplug 15236 0 uhci 24284 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 17516 0 (unused) usbcore 59148 1 [uhci ehci-hcd] snd-via82xx 13376 2 gameport 1420 0 [snd-via82xx] Module Size Used by Not tainted i2c-dev 3620 0 (unused) i2c-core 12676 0 [i2c-dev] snd-pcm-oss 36736 0 snd-mixer-oss 12376 2 [snd-pcm-oss] pci_hotplug 15236 0 uhci 24284 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 17516 0 (unused) usbcore 59148 1 [uhci ehci-hcd] snd-via82xx 13376 2 gameport 1420 0 [snd-via82xx] soundcore 3396 4 [snd] via-rhine 12336 0 (unused) mii 2272 0 [via-rhine] pcmcia_core 39172 0 ide-scsi 9392 0 dmfe 12577 1 crc32 2880 0 [via-rhine dmfe] agpgart 45508 0 (unused) lp 6404 0 parport_pc 15044 1 parport 22824 1 [lp parport_pc] Where could be the hitch that the modem is not responding in slackware?
