I just go dsl in the mail yesterday.  I can't get it to recognize the modem. I'm running the live cd on a compaq presario 1245 laptop which had win 98se on it. The modem is on com 2, but when I configure dialup net working, dsl can't find it. I know the modem works.  What to do?

Hello,

If you open "Aterminal" and type "lspci" do you see a line that resembles the following?

0000:00:0a.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics WinModem 56k (rev 01)

If so, your modem will use port "ttyS14".

Good luck.

CardBus bridge; Texas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01)

Hello,

Please boot DSL from your CD and press the "F2" key before loading continues with the default settings.

Type "dsl acpi=off pci=assign-busses" and press the Enter key.

Perhaps your system is among those for which irq conflicts/hardware detection problems are circumvented by those boot codes.

Good luck

Ok, I tried this at boot up.

dsl vga=789 (gotta have this or the display looks like crap) acpi=off pci=assign-busses

The result was the same as  before.

On a guess, I tried ttyS14 and got a message about no such device.

Win 98 which is on the machine, identifies the modem as Compaq Presario 56K-DF  ISA modem version 1.6.15


The machine itself is a Compaq Presarion 1245 with 160 meg of Ram, 3 gig hard drive and running at 333 Mhz, if that helps any.
