Not sure this will turn out to be a hardware problem, but here goes:
I have just completed an 'Upgrade' via apt-get (NOT a 'dist-upgrade'). The
only resulting problem I'm aware of is that I can no longer dial out.
The TR (is that actually DTR) and RTS indicators on the modem are switching
on and off - off for about half a second, on for about a second. If wvdial
catches them in the 'off' stage dial up begins successfully but is
immediately killed by the 'on' part of the cycle.
Can anyone shed any light on why this might be happening, or how I can find
out, and what solutions there might be.
Here are the results of statserial:
Device: /dev/ttyS1
Signal Pin Pin Direction Status Full
Name (25) (9) (computer) Name
----- --- --- --------- ------ -----
FG 1 - - - Frame Ground
TxD 2 3 out - Transmit Data
RxD 3 2 in - Receive Data
RTS 4 7 out 1 Request To Send
CTS 5 8 in 0 Clear To Send
DSR 6 6 in 0 Data Set Ready
GND 7 5 - - Signal Ground
DCD 8 1 in 0 Data Carrier Detect
DTR 20 4 out 1 Data Terminal Ready
RI 22 9 in 0 Ring Indicator
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Alisdair
