[PLUG] PnP Modem Continued...

[John Lavin <jlavin1@voicenet.com>]

Hello all - 

With this extra day off I've finally made time to walk through getting
my PnP modem to work.

*Synopsis:
1.) Tried isapnp and setserial.  Attempted isapnp, it seemed to be okay,
but no go.  Then did setserial.  That seems to have worked.
2.) I've gotten dialtone under Linux now and have (i think) successfully
connected to Voicenet.
3.) I cannot browse, ftp, telnet, etc to the outside world though.  I
think I'm to the point of a network config problem now.

*Details:
I've walked through using (pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf).  The isapnp.conf
man page said to uncomment a  INT and IO pair.  I found one that seemed
to me to be available and did (isapnp isapnp.conf).  I've attached what
I got below.  I have two PnP cards - the first of which is my
Soundcard.  I left all those lines in my isapnp.conf file commented out
for the time being.  The second one is my modem.  That's where I made my
changes.

Board 1 has Identity e0 1a da 83 f9 c3 00 8c 0e:  CTL00c3 Serial No
450528249 [checksum e0]
Board 2 has Identity 21 d2 9f cb 92 70 20 72 56:  USR2070 Serial No
3533687698 [checksum 21]
USR2070/3533687698[0]{U.S.Robotics Inc. Sportster 56000 Voice Internal
}: Port 0x3E8; IRQ3 --- Enabled OK

I then attempted to link /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0 through /dev/ttyS3. 
Attempting to connect through KPPP: 0 & 1 gave me "Modem ready", then a
"No response" message.  No noises from my modem.  ttys2 & 3 gave me a
"Modem error" message.

The next thing the HOWTO is saying is if that ain't working, use
setserial.  Well, I did "setserial /dev/cua2 auto_irq autoconfig".  I
was able to get a dialtone and connect to Voicenet!  Sweeeet.  My joy
was short lived, however.  I got a login prompt at the terminal, I
logged in and it spat back my generated IP and some other info.  I then
started to get garbage characters in the terminal.  At this point, KPPP
thinks I'm connected & I was in agreement, but when I went to netscape
and attempted good ole' slashdot.org, I was unable to locate.  I have
not changed anything for my network configuration yet.

So.... what would be my next step here?  It seems that I still haven't
configured something else but I'm not exactly sure what I need to do
next.

TIA,
-john
