Can't access modem

My modem is on port 3 (US Sportster 56000). I am not able to get any
response back from it. The dialer says it can’t connect on port 3. If I
set it to port 1, it tries but eventually fails. Qtalk doesn’t let me
type in any AT commands (I can’t type into it).

Thanks,

Raul

P.S. What I really want to do is use my Sympatico HSE (ADSL) connection,
but I guess that’s out of the question from what I’ve read on these
newsgroups (tell me I’m wrong!)

Hi Raul,

Try starting the driver as follows:

devc-ser8250 -u3 3e8,7

address,irq

Make sure that the IRQ is not plug and play (turn this off in the bios).

Also make sure your modem is not a Win Modem.

Erick.
