How to use Trendnet RS232 serial port dial-up modem?
Posted: Mon 10 May 2010, 04:07
Hello There
I was very Happy to discover Puppy Linux and have had some success with it. I have burned an ISO and created a bootable USB
I have spent several years getting ready to try Linux and have read tutorials in regards to what dial up modems work, and have prepared in advance with buying a new Trendnet external dial up modem for RS232 serial port. Model TFM 560X
I have installed it in Windows and it works and uses COM1 which is /dev/ttyS0
I have installed Puppy 4.3.1 and it does not recognize the modem. I have had the modem installed and turned on at boot up time.
Puppy does see my internal soft modem but says sorry modem not detected. That is OK, I would like to get this external modem running.
I have tried to blacklist and erase the internal modem and press Probe and also Probe /dev/ttyS0 and it also says modem not found.
I was reading in Puppy Help that support for the serial modem has been dropped.
Does anyone know how to get the external dial up modem to run ?
Thanks, Johannes
