RE: [9fans] pcmcia modems

[presotto@plan9.bell-labs.com]

In my plan9.ini, I have:

serial0=type=com port=0x2e8 irq=9

You may want to use a different irq, up to you.
That's the one xircom's help file recommended.

If you're using ppp, don't use telco.  Ppp just opens
up the modem and lets you type at it.  It's a failure
of vision that I'll fix in some fictional second life.

Run ppp as:

	ip/ppp -ufb 115200 -p '#t'/eia000

and when it wants you to type something, just
go for

	atdt<telephone number>

The carriage return is generated by typing control-m.

I'm about to do a little scripting language or steal someone
else's so that dialing is easier.

The only thing we use telco for is receiving and sending
faxes.  It should figure out the modem type.  If you want to
use it, just

	telco -vs 115200 /dev/eia000 &

somewhere in termrc or cpurc.  After that, any call to
dial() with a string starting with telco! will dial out.
