No, they're normal serial modems.  Apple was one of the first
companies to do "winmodems" with the old GeoPort pods, but they
haven't done a single one since then.

I have a problem with the internal modem on the dual G4 450. When I try
to use minicom on /dev/ttyS0 it tells me that it can't find that device.

This happens allthough the kernel (2.2.18pre18) told me that he
recognized the internal modem (cobalt modem on tty00 .... is that right?
I mean - there is no /dev/tty00)

When minicom tries to access /dev/ttyS0 the speakers go on an off. Then
minicom tells me that the device can't be found. That's kind of wierd.
Could it be that there is some device driver inferring with the serial
device driver? How can I check that?

Can anybody help me?

When I send something to ttyS0 I see from /proc/interrupts
that interrupt counters for SCC change. Perhaps the serial
interface works, but the modem is a winmodem... :(

Get a more recent minicom build. The device open timeout in minicom was
shorter than the modem powerup delay.

So the modem works and the problem is minicom ?!?  Hm :/

Re: G4 internal modem

Hello!

Just wanted to thank everybody who helped me with my internal G4
modem/minicom problem. It was an old version of minicom that caused the
problem (mincom told me that it was not able to access the device
/dev/ttyS0). Actually it seemed to me that the problem was not solved
before version 1.83 of minicom. And that is a rather new version of
minicom.

Anyway: another problem solved. Thank you.

Regards

G4 internal modem

[Giuliano Pochini]

The G4 internal modem works.  My friend had problems
because of minicom and because he told netcfg to use
/dev/modem and the link didn't exist :))
