I'm having trouble configuring my modem uder 3.4-S. The modem is a USR Sportser 33.6 upgraded to v.90. I've used jumpers to set IRQ and COM-port parameters. ,----[ kernel config ] | device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 9 `---- All other serial ports are disabled on that box. I tried testing it with minicom, and it behaves very strangely. When I tap in "ATDT1234567", the modem goes off-hook, and I hear a dial tone. But the modem doesn't dial the numbers. In stead, after a second, I hear another tone... I'm not sure how to describe it... it's like a distorted dial tone, slightly pulsating. I then press Cntr-C to hang up. The funny thing is that the next time I do "atdt123" (without exiting minicom), it does dial the numbers. What's more, "atiX" commands don't get echoed to screen. If I type "ati7", I see nothing happening. However, if I hold down SPACE or ENTER, the information starts slowly appearing (one character per one press of any key. And, lastly, I tried installing mgetty+sendfax, and sendfax complains: ,---- | sendfax -v -m ATF -M 7200 9056779381 dhl_fax.g3 | Trying fax device '/dev/cuaa2'... OK. | sendfax: cannot set serial port speed 38000 on "cuaa2" `---- In /var/log/messages I can see the following: ,----[ This repeats lotsa times ] | Feb 3 11:33:05 soup /kernel: sio2: 16 more tty-level buffer \ | overflows (total 27312) `---- I'd appreciate any help in configuring the modem!
