Data Solaris USR5610B Setup...
I need help with the new modem. The following has been done:

Installed the modem in the 6th PCI slot

Setup COM2 for:
> 38400 (baud rate)
> Modem - Dial out Only (template)

Ran:
#tip /dev/cua/b
connected

The console stops responding at this point. HELP! Smilie

////////// -- BACKGROUND: -- //////////

I just put together a new home system for Solaris8x86 (see below). Everything else, albeit the modem, is working great!

----------------------------------------------
Motherboard = ASUS A7V8X...
CPU = Athlon XP AX2000BOX
RAM = KVR266X64C25/512
----------------------------------------------
HDD = Maxtor 80GB 7200 ATA/133
CDR = Toshiba SD-R1202 BK00000
----------------------------------------------
Modem = US Robotics 5610B
Video = ATI Radeon 8500LE 128MB

FYI - link for external modem set up on Sunsolve

There was no specific problems noted for Solaris 8x86 and USR modems on SunSolve. The following was for Solaris 2.4x86:

Quote:
The modem card is:
WorldPort 14,400 Fax/Data Modem - PCMCIA 2.0
U.S. Robotics
(looks exactly like the Sun WorlPort modem card with an
attached box with a phone jack)

After Solaris x86 2.4 was installed, it was followed by the
PCMCIA Driver Update 6 installation.

The modem card was not being recognized by the pcmcia drivers
and the following was shown on the output of prtconf:

pcmcia, instance #0
pcser, instance #0
PC,Intel MODEM 2400+ iNC110US A-0 (driver not attached)

When doing tip the modem will appear to connect...it beeps and
says it is connected. But he cannot do any simple modem commands...nothing happens. If he un-hotplugs the card he will get "connection closed eot".


The workaround suggestion:


[msb 6/21/95] Try tio get USR to fix their modem. Good luck - they will just
tell you that "Well, it works OK on DOS".
Suggest you check out what modems ARE supported and replace the modem. It may be the easiest way to get it working (assuming that you HAVE checked that it isn't a cable problem).

Found the problem ... COM2 was broke!

After replacing the internal with a USR5686D external on COM2, it still wasn't working in either WinNT or Solaris8x86. But, changing it to COM1 fixed it for both OS's.

Once I setup dial-in and 'wine' I'll be Win-Free!!!
