Networking :: modem help

i'm having problems w/modem setup. dialup script doesn't find modem.

cat /proc/pci returns; Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Communication controller: TOPIC SEMICONDUCTOR Corp TP560 Data/Fax/Voice 56k modem (rev 0).
IRQ 11
I/O at 0xd000 [0xd007]

windows has this modem on com5

I've tried ./MAKEDEV ttyS4.... but microcom hangs when trying to communicate.

does DSL have setserial?

And suggestions??

Is that a Winmodem? I think the dialup scripts are for hardware modems, if so they won't work for a Winmodem.
And a driver will have to be loaded before you can do anything with it and in the case of a Winmodem the driver has to be built.

Any driver source I've used sets up the node for the modem and also sets up to load the mods when ppp is called.

One website said my modem was not a winmodem and is ok for Linux, but i'm not so sure- since the it was after a long trail of numbers and manufactures. So following is some more info;

EEPROM tuples:
* “151f” - Vendor ID
* “0000” - Device ID
* “0000” - SubVendor ID
* “151f” - SubDevice ID
* “00” - Revision ID

You might be in luck, what I've seen say's it's a hardware modem.

Apparently there are drivers for it.
