Hi Thank you very much to Bill who noticed my error ( and to others for helpful comments), when I typed it correctly, I got > If it is not enabled in hardware, it will show: > /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 Pete then suggested that: > If needed, you can use setserial to change i/o & irq to match > your hardware > setings: > setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0x02e8 irq 3 > Have a look at "man seterial". I really don't know how to do that and unfortunately the man setserial didn't make much sense to me. Could someone make it simpler? Do I just type in setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0x02e8 irq 3 ? Do I need to know something more about my modem? Am I going to have to open up the box?
