Modem question - Linux Setup, Configuration & Administration

[Quackker12]

I have a quick question. I recently configured my Zoom internal ISA
fax modem with isapnp. Now all I have to do is assign it to a
/dev/ttySx; How do I do that?

Regards,

/dev# ln -s ttySx modem

Assuming that you have configured ttySx or that it has been done for
you. What does dmesg say?

I'm the guy who write the How-To guides for HylaFAX for SunOS, and some
of the early Linux guides. This won't necessarily do it: it's not clear
what device it is already set to after the isapnp configuration, and
what this guy wants to configure on it.

Jake? May I suggest downloading and installing HylaFAX from
www.hylafax.org, which has this fabulous tool called "faxaddmodem" for
configuring modems for dial-up/dial-out fax/modem and getty use?

Sounds like a useful utility.

It would be nice to know whether his card has the serial port integrated with
the modem or not, too. I have several like that.

If he goes to kppp/setup/device/modem device - drop down menu he will find
a series of ports to choose from, a good one to start from would be
/dev/tty/S0.
A much easier way would be to get a serial modem.

I have two serial ports (I turned them off in BIOS setup to get the
modem to work). The modem is a Zoom Internal Voice v90 Faxmodem. I
am using Mandrake Linux 8.2
