Re: [hylafax-users] how to setup/drive more than one same PCI modem together?

Hi Kite.

The 536ep is a controller less 'winmodem'.  As far as I'm aware the only
winmodem driver which supports multiple instances is the linuxant driver
(http://www.linuxant.com/) but this only supports conexant modems at V.17
rates.  For a definitive answer about your modem I would suggest that you
ask your question on the linmodems mailing list (http://www.linmodems.org/).

Obviously, I'm going to suggest that you purchase a full hardware multiport
modem for this type of application..... but then I am a little biased !

Subject: [hylafax-users] how to setup/drive more than one same PCI modem
together?

Sorry that this is actually not a question for hylafax, but for the modems
it uses.

I have an intel 536ep based pci modem. It works fine with official driver
from intel. After driver installation, I do the following to setup device
name.

================================
insmod -f /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/char/Intel536.ko
mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1
================================



The device to be used is /dev/536ep then.

My question is: If I need to setup more than one same modem under ONE system
(so that I can get the best out of hylafax :)), what steps should I take to
create the corresponding devices correctly? Perhaps I need only to change
the parameter of mknod? If yes, what decides the correct parameter? I think
users on this list should counter the same question, but I cannot find the
answer from the mailinglist archive.

Any pointer will be helpful to me.

Thanks.

Kite
