Re: [hylafax-users] Faxaddmodem with Mainpine IQ Express R3.2

[Samuel Zats <samzats@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Lee!

This is what I initially thought, but it seems there are
only two serial ports active. Can you suggest any reason for the
problem?

The system identifies the modem under hardware. So it is being recognized at some level.

At terminal:
[root@localhost ~]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS*
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 209
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe400, IRQ: 209
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4

/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
[root@localhost ~]#

I believe that I've gone through all the steps correctly and have rebuilt my Centos 5.2 with updated kernel (3 downloaded patches) and the mainpine-10 driver.

Running faxconfig works fine. Takes me to faxaddmodem where I'm asked to include the serial port that the modem is connected to.

I've now tried both: ttyS0 and ttyS1 = both result in series of config questions and end up closing the terminal once it tries

Almost never will the IQ Express appear as ttyS0 or ttyS1.  Look through your 'dmesg' output to see where the Linux kernel serial driver put the ports.  (E.g., rung 'dmesg | grep ttyS'.)

Normally it will be /dev/ttyS4, /dev/ttyS5, etc.

Thanks,

Lee.
