hardware pci modem

807557Apr 8 2005
Hello,gentlemen.

My system (Intel Celeron 1.8GHz)includes a PCI card USRobotics hardware modem,that normally makes a COM5 port(on Linux it is /dev/ttyS4,COM5 under Windows and some cua4 under FreeBSD, all works well).

Solaris (boot-time)Configuration Assistant has detected it with the following parameters:

PCI:12b9,1008.12b9.aa.1 (16550-compatible serial controller) PCI bus 1 dev 0 C000-C007 IRQ5

This is very correct.But I'm at a loss how to make it work as a modem.There is no corresponding /dev/ttyb or /dev/cua/b or whatever showing that the system takes it seriously as a serial port.
SMC doesn't show it as a serial port; asy.conf(recommended in manuals,so I did it) has to do with ISA devices,while this one is a PCI with address 0xc000.There is a council,too,to put appropriate device name into
/etc/driver_aliases file.But what kind of alias should I make of the parameters above?"Celeste's tutorial on modems etc" couldn't help either.

I know,Solaris is not for home workstations,but now it is the only way for me to study it,phone-line slow modem dial-up is the only way to connect to my ISP.

Regards,
Konstantin
