Re: [ubuntu-uk] New boy.

Dear Ian,

Welcome to ubuntu forum list. I know this isn't very helpful but you might want to consider getting a real ethernet modem/router, these are virtually trouble free to set up on any OS.

I looked in the Synaptic dialog under Networking but no eagle-usb-data there or under any other selection either.

Trouble for me is, I can't ask it to download anything cause I don't have a connection on the Ubuntu side.

That also makes it difficult or at least very slow and frought witrh error when everyone here kindly suggests code that will do the trick, I have toprint it out in XP and then log into Ubuntu to key it in.

So far I still have not connection so I am not doing something right, but what?

Hi Ian, welcome to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu supports the Sagem 800 modem.

Select System  Administration  Synaptic
Select Networking
Go down to eagle-usb-data and eagle-usb-utils and install these.
Follow the instructions and you should be OK.

Best wishes, Ron

Hi Ian,

I've had a quick look on the Ubuntu forums, and it looks like this post:
