thank you for your email dated 10.09.04.pcqlinux is more or less same as
redhat linux.pctel.o driver has been provided with motherboard cd.for
loading, following commands have to be executed-

you can use 'insmod' to
install it. The current driver source uses the major number 62
and minor number 79 (which maps into /dev/ttyS15). You can change the
major number by changing the PCTEL_MAJOR #define. To change the minor
number, you need to modify the rs_table[] array, and the corresponding
ttyS# will change. The minor number value is 64 + port #.

Make sure you have a char device node for /dev/ttyS15. Login as root
and use the 'mknod' command:

mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 62 79

You may want to use 'chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS15' to change its group owner
and 'chmod 666 /dev/ttyS15' to grant read/write access to other users.

/dev/ttyS15 will behave like a regular serial device. Open the port
with a terminal application (e.g. Seyon). Make sure it is
configured to use /dev/ttyS15.

You probably want to create another device node named /dev/modem (or
create a symbolic link using "ln -s",as some terminal and PPP dialer
applications use that name as its default.

If you opened /dev/ttyS15 successfully with a terminal application,
you can type in AT commands to interface with the modem (please
consult PC-TEL AT Command Summary Document for more information).

Sample AT commands (type <CR> after all AT commands):

Command What Response
========================================================================
AT Attention OK
ATI3 Report version number PCtel 7.64-PCC-LN100
ATZ Reset modem OK
ATDT1234567 Off-hook and dial Dials the number 1234567
ATA Answer Goes off-hook and answers
ATW1 Report carrier (DCE) speed OK

the modem is installed in /dev/ttys03.there is no /dev/ttys15.no commands
seem to be working on run dialogue box.terminal for AT commands does not
take any command.please let me know what can be done.
regards
satinder chadha
