Hello,
I'm trying to install a modem in my FreeBSD 2.2.6 machine, and I can't
seem to get it to work.
For ease, I have disabled the on-board comports on the motherboard.
(FreeBSD detected them properly as sio0 and sio1). The modem is setup as
COM2 via the dip switches. Doing a dmesg | grep "sio" I see that sio0 is
not detected (makes sense, I disabled it) and sio1 is found as a 16550A,
IRQ3, etc. This seems right for a modem on COM2.
I issued some MAKEDEV commands as described in the handbook, but I still
can't get it. I have the following devices:
sio1
cuaa1
cua1
ttyp1
cuaia1
cuala1
This com port addressing scheme is a bit confusing, but I kind of
understand it. Basically I just need to be able to echo AT commands
directly to the modem, but everything I've tried has failed:
echo atdt<my_other_phone_line> > /dev/sio1
echo atdt<my_other_phone_line> > /dev/cuaa1
echo atdt<my_other_phone_line> > /dev/cua1
and none of these has resulted in my phone ringing! I have turned on the
modem speaker (ATM1L3), I don't hear that, and I don't hear the modem
click as it picks up the line...so something's not quite right.
What's the proper way to install this thing?
Thanks much,
