I'm tinkering with a cardbus modem I found in one of my hardware piles<br>
(I'm still missing the actual cable but I know I have it here<br>
somewhere). Anyway, I'm trying to figure out the best way to see if<br>
it's working (eg, responding to AT commands) but I can't quite seem to<br>
get minicom to talk to it. It's not a winmodem as far as I know.<br>
According to dmesg, the pcmcia system sees the card, then serial_cs sees<br>
the card and identifies it as a 16550A sittign on IRQ 3 0x3e8. It<br>
eventually gets assigned to /dev/ttyS2.<br>
<br>
So far nothing seems out of the ordinary but I just can't seem to get it<br>
to respond to any basic commands (not even plain AT for which I should<br>
see OK). I know the cardbus system is working because I also have a<br>
wireless network card in there and that's working fine.<br>
<br>
Ideas for probing and testing the modem?<br>
