Installation guide

If you did not have the PCMCIA fax/modem card inserted in the slot when
the system was installed, then you need to add the following line to your
system kernel configuration file, (/sys/conf/HOSTNAME where HOSTNAME
is the name of your system):
controller ace2 at * slot ? vector aceintr
If you plan to use two modem cards simultaneously, add the following lines
to your system configuration file:
controller ace2 at * slot ? vector aceintr
controller ace3 at * slot ? vector aceintr
Once the system configuration file is modified, use the following command
to rebuild the new kernel and reboot the system.
# doconfig -c
E.2.4 Creating a Device Special File for the Modem Card
Normally the system installation creates the following two default tty0x
device special files in the directory /dev:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 35, 0 Oct 16 13:22 tty00
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 35, 1 Oct 16 13:22 tty01
This is because most systems have two embedded serial lines. A system
with a single embedded serial line creates only onetty00 entry in the /dev
directory.
To create additional device special files for the PCMCIA modem cards, use
the MAKEDEV utility in the /dev directory. For example:
# ./MAKEDEV ace2
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for ace2:
tty02
The generated special file should look like this:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 35, 2 Oct 27 14:02 tty02
If you intend to have two PCMCIA modem cards working simultaneously,
create device special files for each card. For example:
# ./MAKEDEV ace2 ace3
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for ace2:
tty02
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for ace3:
tty03
The generated special files should look like this:
