Greetings to all. I installed FC1 a few days ago, i am unable to connect to the net. i encountered the following problem. Using KPPP when i 'setup' the connection, on querying modem i get following results. /dev/ttys0-->no modem found /dev/ttys1-->no modem found /dev/ttys2-->modem busy. /dev/ttys3-->no modem found i am also having windows 98 as second OS. here the modem is installed on COM4. --modem specifications-- DIGICOM/Creative Modem Blaster V90 PCI DI5655 --query modem result from Windows-- Identifier DSMODEM\DSI0428 ATl1 000 ATl2 RXF2-V90A ATl3 V4.43.012-T-PI ATl4 Creative Modem Blaster V.90 PCI DI5655 ATl5 OK ATl6 DS1820/DS1821 ATl7 OK AT +FCLASS=? 0,1,2,8 the drivers for this modem are available for MS windows at http://www.esstech.com/techsupp/drivers.shtm#comm [second row] but no such support for linux exists. also i searched http://65.70.147.202:8080/gromitkc/pci_list.html [from linmodem.org], the modem is listed under DIGICOM SYSTEMS (2/3 down the page 800x600 pixel).but on futhur going thru the links, the page seems missing or have been moved. i got the scanModem utility from linmodem.org and posted at [EMAIL PROTECTED] but got mail-failed reply.. i am putting here the result of ModemData.txt(if you are familiar with scanModem).. -------------------------------OUTPUT of MODEMDATA.TXT---------------------- ----------------------------------S T A R T-------------------------------------- The most recent update of scanModem accessed at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz should ALWAYS be used!!

Resident PPP support modules are properly uncompressed . ======= Fedora code changes ======= SmartLink slmodem-2.9.n, Lucent/Agere DSP, Intel537 drivers are already Fedora competent. For usage of winmodems with the kernel-2.4.nn Fedora releases a change in the serial-like driver code of WinModems is necessary. See for guidance: http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/~wmurray/pctel/pctel.html Basically , the line: if ((tty->count == 1) && (state->count != 1)) { should be changed into: if (atomic_read(&tty->count) == 1 && state->count != 1) { This works in the ltmodem code too.
