So far we know that your modem is not made by 3-Com (US Robotic) but it still doesn't
prove that it can work under Linux. Most software modems will not work under Linux.
Lucent's software modem have been made to sort of work under Linux but none of the other
shit that I know off.

Much like not all cameras are Kodaks not all software modems are Winmodems.

My Modem in Linux

Post by Edward Jon » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00


do a symbol link as root if /dev/modem does not exist
# ln -s /dev/modem /dev/ttyS4
ttyS4 is your modem on COM5
Get the info from your ISP, such as primary and secondary DNS, Gateway IP
address, Authentation method (Chap, Pap), phone number, etc.
As non-root try to run kppp or rp3-config and put all your info there.
When you are ready to hook to the internet use kppp or rp3.
You might run into permission problems, (ie. it works well as root but I
cannot run it as non-root)
If you are connected and there are communication issues, post your
communication logs here on the news group.

1. supraexpress modems (28.8) problems w/dial-ins

Hello,

        I've configured my linux box to receive calls from two 28.8
SupraExpress modems (both support v.34).  Everything works fine, the
connection, everything.  However, when the user logs off, the modems
literally go bezerks and make the LED display shows pure garbage and
the SD/RD leds blinks relentlessly.  After that, the modem no longer
answer to commands issued by my system or to incoming calls, and I get
this kind of messages inside /var/adm/messages:

Feb 24 14:05:02 zeus kernel: ttyS0: 13 input overrun(s)

        for both ports.  The only solution is to power off the modem
and restart it.  Then, uugetty regains controls and accepts answers.

        Here's a copy of my /etc/default/uugetty.ttyS0 file:

CLEAR = NO
HANGUP=YES
#DEBUG=777
DEBUG=010
INIT="" AT&F2S0=1\r OK
ALTLOCK=cua0
ALTLINE=cua0
#WAITFOR=RING
#CONNECT="" ATs0=1\r CONNECT \s\A
TIMEOUT=60

        Help!

        ...David
