Internal modem with RTP?

Hi,

Maybe someone can help me. I installed QNX RTP onto my computer
yesterday but have yet to try the Voyager browser. I have read the Help
files but I may have overlooked something obvious.

The problem is that “devc-ser8250” currently only starts up ports 1 and
2 but my internal modem is on port 3. So I launch “devc-ser8250 -u3
3e8,3”. “ser3” then appears under /dev as it should. I then send an
AT command to the modem but cannot communicate with it. The port
address of ‘3e8’ is one that I determined under my main OS (Windows
98). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to determine the interrupt being used
for this device under Windows so I simply tried IRQ 3, then 4, 5, 6 …
none worked.

The modem is an AOPEN 56k. Is it simply because “devc-ser8250” is not
the proper driver? I noticed that in the QNX site under “Hardware
Supported” there are no entries for modems, except for PCMCIA modems.
Are only external devices supported?



Best regards,

Hi Marcel,

Is your modem a “Win modem”? What model is it?

Thanks

Erick.

Erick,

It is a AOPEN FM56-PM Internal Modem.

This is a controller-less modem (sometimes called a WinModem).
Controller-less
modems are not supported under RTP. Internal modems that are implemented in
firmware are supported. Softmodem and controller-less modems require a
driver
that replaces the data pump, as well as other functions, that are
implemented in
hardware in ‘true’ modems.
