To set your Courier V.Everything to answer incoming calls, set DIP
switch 3 OFF; set 4 and 8 ON.
Linux has a built-in communications software package called minicom.
You can obtain minicom on the U.S. Robotics FTP site (ftp.usr.com) in the
usr/bin directory.
For instructions about how to set up your UNIX®, Linux, or AIX
communications software package, visit the U.S. Robotics Totalservice
web site at http://totalservice.usr.com.
Configuring Your Internal Courier for Dial-In Only
If you are using your Courier V.Everything for dial-in only, set DIP switch
4 ON, and leave the other switches in their default positions. You may
need to set DIP switch 1 ON if your computer does not send a Data
Terminal Ready (DTR) signal.
Configuring Your Internal Courier for Dial-In and Dial-Out
If you are using your Courier V.Everything for dial-in and dial-out, set
DIP switches 3, 4, 7, and 8 ON, and leave the other switches in their
default positions. You may need to set DIP switch 1 ON if your computer
does not send a Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal.
These are the standard port names and settings:
Outgoing Calls Incoming Calls Port IRQ I/O Address
/dev/cua0 /dev/ttyS0 COM1 4 03F8
/dev/cua1 /dev/ttyS1 COM2 3 02F8
/dev/cua2 /dev/ttyS2 COM3 4 03E8
/dev/cua3 /dev/ttyS3 COM4 3 02E8
Use the setserial command to tell Linux about any nonstandard
COM/IRQ combinations that you may have set using your Courier’s
jumpers. Setserial also selects serial port speed and I/O port address.
