Hi all,
I've been trying to get an internal 14.4Kbaud modem working for some
time. I've checked the FAQ's, and haven't found the problems I've
been having (with the modem that is ...)
I'm running NetBSD 1.0 , i386 arch (33MHz 386, ISA, ZoomFax Internal modem)
Here is the bootup stuff which shows that the os recognizes the hardware:
Mar 19 22:06:09 carc1 /netbsd: com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4: ns82450 or ns16450, no fifo
Mar 19 22:06:09 carc1 /netbsd: com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3: ns82450 or ns16450, no fifo
Mar 19 22:06:09 carc1 /netbsd: com2 at isa0 port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5: ns16550a, working fifo
Here's my /etc/remote file ...

Here's the perms on the device ...
crw------- 1 uucp wheel 8, 2 Mar 19 22:04 /dev/tty02
Running tip I get "Cannot synchronize with hayes"
Running cu, I get a timeout
Running kermit, I get nothing.
Is there something special about internal modems that I'm ignorant about?
I've changed the port settings using stty -f /dev/tty02 (i.e.: clocal, -parity, (and a host of others to long to mention...), all to no avail...
- starting to believe I've got a broken piece of hardware.
Anyone who can help, please do...
Regards,
John Hoogerdijk@ihatemodems
