Subject: RE: Problems with modem...
Are
you sure it's not a WinModem? WinModems don't work with Linux.
Period.
Hy...here's my problem...i have a 14400
internal modem on a pentium 166 system with RH 7.0 ...well...the strangest
things happen here.... first: if I enter the KDE enviroment and try to
connect to the net..it says that my modem isnt' responding.... second: if I
run wvdial from bash first( that's before I enter KDE ) and connect, it's
ok..until I enter KDE .... everything stops..the ppp0 interface is
down....not even the ping or links command doesen't work..so i have to
reboot....third: if I run wvdial from bash....and not let it connect to my
ISP.... and then run startx....the kppp loader from KDE works....now......i
don't have a clue what could it be wrong....
Thanks in advance !
No, it's not a winmodem! it actually
works sometimes! thast's teh problem! and in Windoze it works with the
standard generic driver for 14400
modem....
