Hi folks,
Well, my Linux saga continues. :) I finally got a working 2.4.18 kernel to
work with Zipspeak8.0. My modem is detected on the correct port, with the
correct IRq and everything, but when I try and open minicom, I get the
following message. (Note: This is not a type O)
: No such file or directorytyS4
I think Gregory and I could use some brainstorming on this one, folks. There
is a file called /dev/ttyS4, so I don't know why Minicom refuses to find it.

Have you tried accessing minicom as root? Try with the following
switch:
minicom -s
This should take you to a setup screen.
Once out of the setup screen, an ath should return 'ok'
Exit minicom with Ctrl-a q enter

That is how I was accessing minicom, as root.

Hi
Have you looked in your devices '/dev' directory to see if you have more
than the standard 0 -3 or in DOS terms com 1 - 4 ports? I think that
you have to have to select advanced com ports or something in the kernel
to use com 5 or ttyS4 as your modem appears to being attempting to do.
The old way was to put the modem on com3 ttyS2 and set it to use irq 5
maybe that's an option. Either way, I'm sure someone here will step in
and help.

You mentioned you have a /dev/ttyS4. Are you certain that is the
modem? Can you do:
echo ata >/dev/ttyS4
and hear the dial tone?
PS: If you do get the dial tone, you'll probably want to follow
up right away with:
echo ath >/dev/ttyS4
If this command doesn't give you a dial tone, minicom isn't going
to help you.

Yes, the modem is on ttyS4. I've seen Ann's dmesg output, and it is the same for me too. For some reason, 3com likes to make that particular modem put itself on ttyS4/com5.
Also, doing the echo commands you suggest don't work for me, so they may not work for Ann either. On the other hand, the modem works just fine with minicom.
