PCI Modem problem...

[Enoch Chan]

I have a pci modem that was not auto-detected by Knoppix. I tried to use pppconfig but it only configures serial-port modem. Can anyone tell me how to configure pci modem in knoppix? Also, somehow my desktop settings are not saved after I log off and I have to configure the desktop everytime I use Knoppix. If anyone know what is happening, please tell me!! Thanks!

Try this first. This is how I got my PCI modem to work.

Type this into a root shell:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyS4
ln -s ttyS4 modem
chmod 777 modem
chmod 777 ttyS4

This will set up your default modem to run on ttyS4. For Win/DOS users ttyS4 is com5. This is an unusual com that is sometimes used by modems.

Hope that helps
