US Robotics 2976 modem

[Ann Tate]

Hello Everyone,

I apologize if this is off topic. If anyone can help, feel free to reply
privately.

Is anyone successfully using a 56K US Robotics modem, part number 2976, with
Linux, the Slackware or Zipspeak versions in particular, and exactly how did
you get it to work properly? Please be specific with any instructions.

thanks!
~Ann

Hi Ann:  Can you give us any more information about your modem?  I am
not familiar with the part number.  Is it internal, external, usb
what?  I use four U.S. Robotics 56k modes and they work just fine, but
if it is a winmodem it may or may not work, depending on it's chip
set.

Hi,

Yes, I am.  I didn't do anything special to make it work.  I just put it in, and it worked.  If you have two onboard serial ports in your system, and if you have anything below kernel 2.4.4, it will be /dev/ttyS2.  If you have kernel 2.4.4 or 2.4.5, it will be /dev/ttyS4.  Don't ask why that is, because I don't know.  That's at least how it shows up on my system.  What kind of problems are you having with it?
Greg
