Have a new US Robotics/ 3Com Hardware Modem, model 2977. SME 5.5 won't detect it (neither will previous versions), but my Redhat 7.2 installs and configures it correctly. I went on USRs site, and downloaded a so-called Linux driver (RPM). I installed this on the SME machine. What is supposed to happen is that this one file (/etc/rc.c/init.d/serial) runs at startup, detects all /tty/Sxx ports and devices, and as soon as it detects the modem, it will dial. As I mentioned, this worked fine on my Redhat system. In SME, it won't add this "serial" program to the startup tasks.
How can I get that program to start up automatically? When I start it manually, the modem (on COM4) automatically dials, and all is well. But I neeeeed to get it to start automatically. [I tried using , it is listed in there, but all the services are unchecked, and checking off serial won't do a thing - SME must not use ntsysv for enabling/disabling services like RH does?]
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance ~ Art
