    Need to locate Port used by Fax Modem [SOLVED]

    I am trying to configure/detect a USRobotics 5660A internal Fax/Modem to be able to send/receive faxes.
    _________________________________________________
    When I run lshw I find the following:

    *-communication UNCLAIMED
    description: Communication controller
    product: USR5660A (USR265660A, USR5660A-BP) 56K PCI Faxmodem
    vendor: U.S. Robotics
    physical id: 0
    bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0
    version: 01
    width: 32 bits
    clock: 33MHz
    capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
    configuration: latency=32
    _________________________________________________
    When I run "lspci | grep -i modem" I find the following:

    04:00.0 Communication controller: U.S. Robotics USR5660A (USR265660A, USR5660A-B P) 56K PCI Faxmodem (rev 01)

    It seems that the modem is being found in the system, but I am not certain which Port it is on. I assumed ttyS0 but it does not seem to be so (see below).
    _________________________________________________
    When I type in wvdialconf this is what I get:

    Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

    ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
    ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
    ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
    Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3

    Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
    Did you configure it properly with setserial?

    Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

    If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.
    _________________________________________________
    So, I am not getting the modem to be recognized at any of the default ttyS serial ports.

    I am using efax-gtk as the fax SW and have edited the conf file to use ttyS0.

    Any help would be most welcome - thanks!

    According to http://www.leenooks.com/page/show/Modems that modem is not compatible with linux. Not to say the restricted driver manager cannot handle it though. Open up restricted driver manager and see if it shows a proprietary driver available for it. Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the reply.

      As a matter of fact the modem uses the Conexant chipset and I find that Linuxant provides Linux drivers for it.

      www.linuxant.com/drivers/

      A word of warning though; the drivers also require a specific Alsa driver too which may mess up the audio of the system in some installations.

      Regards!
