Wow, these reports are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Just yesterday I got an email from a guy with the same (probably) problem. I own an Actiontec PCI call waiting modem, and it works fine with every version of Linux I've thrown at it; I like it.

First things first: are you using setserial to set up the modem? If so, cut it out. Modern 2.4 kernels autodetect and setup everything themselves (Not sure when that started; possibly 2.4.7). Anyway, try using /dev/ttyS4 as your modem device and see what happens; that is the first PCI serial port.

Let me know.

Wow, these reports are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Just yesterday I got an email from a guy with the same (probably) problem. I own an Actiontec PCI call waiting modem, and it works fine with every version of Linux I've thrown at it; I like it.

Quoted 7 lines

First things first: are you using setserial to set up the modem? If so, cut it out. Modern 2.4 kernels autodetect and setup everything themselves (Not sure when that started; possibly 2.4.7). Anyway, try using /dev/ttyS4 as your modem device and see what happens; that is the first PCI serial port.
Let me know.

Another confirmed "working" report.

If you're using devfs it's easy to tell if it's tts/4 or tts/2 or whatever, but assuming you're not using setserial and you're using the right ttyS it works fine (using the actiontec and IBM versions of the same card, based on the lucent venus chipset, with 2.4.everything)

That makes for 4 working reports to 2 non-working. Apparently, these 2 people are having a true hardware issue, not merely a configuration problem.

Can you tell me how old your modem is? (i.e., about how long ago you bought it?) My theory is that actiontec made a new revision of the modem that has sacrificed pure 16550 UART emulation in order to expose more of the call-waiting feature to the computer.

Additionally, even my modem occasionally ceases to work, requiring a reboot. When this happens, dmesg contains the message "LSR safety check failed."

Here's to getting this figured out!

Hey man,
Works like a charm, thanks a million!! I'de have never guessed about the now obsolete setserial usage on PCI modems..
