Hi,<br />
I'm trying to get my modem to work on my thinkpad 755C under Slackware 96 linux, but I am unable to do so. I have made sure that all of the proper parameters were set, ie., /dev/cua0 is linked to /dev/modem. And the irq is set to 4. Upon boot linux even says &quot;serial or modem detected&quot;. <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; However, when I run minicom it says that it initializes the modem, but the modem responds to nothing. When I run seyon it can't initialize. Could there be any wierd quircks about Slackware? Is my modem, Megahertz XJ4288, supported (I think it is.). Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Modem Set-up Problem

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
