[comp.unix.sysv386] Internal modems and Sysv/386?

kherron@ms.uky.edu (Kenneth Herron) (11/17/90)

This is probably a stupid question, but we need to make sure before
buying a modem...

Can AT&T Sysv/386 (3.2.1 if it matters) properly use an internal modem-
on-a-card as tty01?  Any gotchas?  I've tried using FACE to enable 
tty01 before but have no way to see if it worked...

The hardware is a 16mhz 6386 WGS.

What you'll probably need to do is leave it enabled through FACE but disable
the port on the motherboard with a jumper setting.  This will allow
the tty driver to access it through the standard I/O ports and interrupt, 
without having to know whether you're using the port on the motherboard
or on an internal modem card.
