Quick fix, to avoid the necessity of reboot: slay and reload. This is
what I have to do when callwaiting bumps my modem off. First make sure you
know what args are used for loading ser8250 (can be found with ‘ps’), then
‘slay devc-8250’ (wait, it’s devc, right?) then reload it (execute it just
as you found it in ‘ps’). I just made a ‘resmdm’ script and put it in ~/bin
… but this is temporary. Not that I can help you any further, but what
kind of modem do you have?
Anyone else having problems with their modem responce? My dialup
connection works for about 5-10 minutes, and then suddenly it stops
responding. If I disconnect and try to reconnect, the dialer tells me that
/dev/ser1 (where my modem is) no longer exsists. If I completely reboot my
machine it reappears, and I can reconnect…but only to experience the same
problem again.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
