Modem Inaccessible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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:

Where could be the hitch that the modem is not responding in slackware?

Thanks for any help!
