Modem silent on iBook G3 FireWire: Strange modem prob on pismo, redux

How to debug this driver? I use kernel-image-2.6.7-powerpc and it seems to be compiled in at least /var/log/dmesg mentions it setting up /dev/ttyS0 as the modem. Thing is, neither pon nor wvdial can open it. plog reports alarm. It worked alright with 2.4, I am thinking about going back to it until 2.6.8 if I cant make it work. But I am kinda wary of downgrading and facing modules or yaboot issues. Next step to debug? -- Leandro Guimares Faria Corsetti Dutra +55 (44) 3028 7467 ext34 Rua Guarani 361 ap 601 Z4+55 (44) 3025 6253 87.014-040 Maring, PR [EMAIL PROTECTED] BRAZIL http://br.geocities.com./lgcdutra/
Strange modem prob on pismo, redux
Hi all, I wrote in a month back about not being able to connect to my Indian ISP under Linux. I have a Pismo, and I can connect under MacOS, but under linux I simply get chat timeout alarm and 'pon' fails. When I changed to my new house my modem couldn't recognize the phone dialtone, so I disabled dial tone checking. Under MacOS this is good enough to create a connection. But under Linux I do not get a connection using 'pon'. Because the modem speaker on the pismo doesn't work, it's dificult for me to debug the problem. If someone could give me an idea how to proceed, I will be most grateful. Either some explanation of how the modem connection process could differ under linux and MacOS, or some advice for how to debug what is happening without a working modem speaker. Thanks in advance, jas.

For one, check if your init string is correct. It's also possible that MacOS d/l an upgraded firmware to the modem (check the version strings with ATI0, ATI1, etc... I suppose you have extracted the proper modem init string from MacOS connect script too ? The modem is just HW on a serial port, nothing special, except if the new pmac_zilog driver in 2.6 has a problem... Ben.
Re: Strange modem prob on pismo, redux
The Pismo is well known for some modem laziness. It takes between 3 and 5 seconds to initialise it with the default init string. I changed my init string to: ATX1 and now it connects straight away every time. That could be your problem. -- Pierre On Thu, 2004-04-01 at 09:11, Benjamin Herrenschmidt wrote: If someone could give me an idea how to proceed, I will be most grateful.
