Hello,
I have a Zoom internal modem jumpered for the standard COM2 IRQ.
However, it is not detected on QNX boot.
I have to type devc-ser8250 -b 115200 -f & to get /dev/ser2.
Is there any way to automatically get this to load on boot?
Also, how can I get the full QNX desktop (with the sidebar of icons and Launch menu) as a user?

You can run commands at startup by creating the file:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
and putting the commands you normally type manually into
this file. Don’t forget to slay devc-ser8250 before starting
a new one.

If you are not using com1 for a mouse you could try
disabling it in BIOS and com2 may then auto detect. It
worked for me.

That’s strange, I have a Zoom internal modem (a 33.6) and I can’t get it to
work either. Mine is jumpered at 2e8, irq 5. And even if I start the
driver manually, it still doesn’t work. In fact, by adding “-u 3 2e8,5” in
the argument list, then use ‘qtalk -m /dev/ser3’ to talk to the modem, I
can send commands to the modem and it does receive them but the software
doesn’t seem to be receiving any thing from it. (ATDT does take the phone
off the hook because I can hear it but other commands that should display
the modem’s configuration doesn’t show up any thing…
I don’t know what to do, I was tempted to jump my modem to a standard IRQ
and I/O address.

Followup…
Yesterday, I disabled COM2 in the bios setup of my motherboard and changed
my
modem from 2e8, irq 5 to a standard com2 (2f8, irq3) and now it works fine.
What is it with devc-ser8250 ? can’t it use 2e8 irq5 ? QNX 4 was able to use
it, so was
Linux and Win95 ?
