[hcflinux] no /dev/SHCF0

[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

the device ID 127A:2005 can be either an HCF or HSF modem so you should try
both drivers. If you still can't get it to work, please send us the files
generated by the commands "hcfpciconfig --dumpdiag" and
"hsfconfig --dumpdiag".

[see attached letter]

To All:

I'm having troubling setting up the WinModem on
this 4 years old SONY laptop.

Fyi, I just recently installed Mandrake 9.1
using default KDE 3.1.

When I did

rpm -i hcfpcimodem-0.99lnxtbeta03042700k2.4.21_0.13mdk-1mdk.586.rpm

I get a bunch of outputs (see below) including

Your HCF modem should now be accessible as /dev/ttySHCF0

This file does not exists.  When I

ls /dev/ttyS* ,

I only get ttyS0 and ttyS2 .

And if I use Mandrake Control Center afterward,
I get same responsei as before I try the
installation, i.e.,

Your modem isn't supported by the system.
Take a look at http://www.linmodems.org

So now what?
