Subject: Need help with my USR modem
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 00:16:01 GMT
Hello,
Actually, I'm using a high speed modem (adsl) to connect to the internet.
I'd like to use my usr robotics modem 56K voice PNP ISA as answering machine and
fax.
I know its not a "winmodem" because it was woking fine before.
After installed Mandrake 7.2, everything is ok except the modem.
Harddrake sees the modem so it looks good so far. If I start "kppp"
and choose /dev/ttyS1 (With win98 the modem is at com2, int3, address
2f8) then query the modem, it says "the modem is not responding...")
I tried the command "setserial" but did not work...or maybe I dont know I
to use it correctly! :)
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Eric.

Anyone had dealings with this vendor.
SAG? "Systems Are Gebr0ken"? Hmm, my employer bought a few desktop
boxen from them and is seriously considering buying something else next
time.
Pentium III 800MHZ/133 w/256k cache
ASUS VIA Apollo Pro 133 A Chipset
(6)PCI 32-bit , (1) ISA, USB, Ultra DMA/66,
AGP 4X
4x DIMM up to 4GB, 133 MHz
128MB SDRAM, ECC 133MHz
30GB, IDE 7200 RPM, Ultra 100 IBM (QTY 1)
3.5" Floppy, Sony
24/48x IDE Sony CDROM
16MB AGP 4X Millenium G400 - Matrox
10/100 PCI Ethernet RJ45, 3COM 3C905-TX
PCI-512 Soundblaster, Creative Labs
I'd especially like comments on the Asus VIA Apollo pro mobo in this box.
Asus generally makes decent boards. The Apollo Pro is certainly a
better choice than any of Intel's i8xx offerings, and the other hardware
specced looks OK. The vendor gives me pause; two of our machines had
motherboards that were defective. Maybe you'll be luckier.
Anyway, if you're not doing SMP, why are you looking at a PIII?
Thunderbirds are cheaper, for equal or greater performance.

Eric,
Thanks for your input. I will try this out.
I should also mention a special thanks to Danny for his input (i.e. email).
Thanks, again.
Because I was able to install Linux 5.0 last year without a hitch, I
anticipated installing the newer version just as simply- NOT. This has been
a learning experience. The typical reason why someone would purchase Redhat
is for ease of installation. I didn't bargain on all the "installation
research". Surely, they are aware that the ABit, Asus, and e few others are
amongst the most popular boards on the market. Installations usualy
determine customer satisfaction, too. Where ya at there...Redhat??? (But,
they do make pretty CD's; ya know with their logo on them and everything-
look away!)
I am determined to work through this...like pushing the wrinkle in the rug.
I intend to share all with everyone once I do.
The bottom line on this one is: the v2.3 and 2.4 version will fly. Below
that, you'll have a modified installation (always a risky proposition). The
new Linux 7 is not at 2.3. Ergo, you'll go through this, too, if you've got
a Promise, Highpoint, or another controller that works at ATA66 or above.
...ABit at a time...

thanks alot.
I've got Redhat 6.2 loaded on the following system:
700 MHz Athlon
Abit KA7 motherboard
128 MB Crucial 133 MHz RAM
ASUS V6800 GeForce DDR video card
300 watt power supply
Adaptec AHA2940 SCSI adapter
3 IBM hard drives: one EIDE (ATA 33) and two SCSI II
US Robotics 33.6 modem (ISA)
The system is stable and bloody fast! I have Xfree86 4.0 installed and tonight
I compiled and installed version 2.2.16 of the kernel (in just 2 minutes!).

I've got the Abit KA7 and Redhat 6.2. The only problem I had was trying to
install and use the system while the "memory hole" was enabled in the BIOS.
This is an option need by some older expansion cards which it turns out I
didn't need, but in my ignorance I left it enabled. What a mess: signal 11's
and filesystem corruption out the ying-yang! It all stopped when I disabled
the memory hole. Stable, fast smooth sailing ever since!

My sound card is an integrated chipset (I believe) made my crystal...
Windows 95 detects it as 'crystal audio codec'. I've attempted looking
for drivers for it, but I've had no luck as yet.
Crystal - isn't that one supported by the OSS drivers ?
Maybe, maybe not. I've seen two very different sound cards (an ES1371 and
a CS4236) detected as "Crystal Audio System Codec" by the Device Mangler.
I'm wondering if it isn't just a catch-all term for "This is some kind of
sound card, and the 3rd-party driver looks like it supports it."

I presume your modem is in COM3 so link /dev/modem to ttyS2 (ln -s
/dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem). If /dev/modem already exists and is incorrect,
delete it (rm /dev/modem).
To test if your modem is responding, you may use minicom (just type minicom)
and check if it responds to AT commands (at, ata, atdt123456, etc.)

Subject: Neues Vertriebssystem Internetservice und Webdesign!
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 12:24:43 GMT
Gutan Tag!
Wir sind ein kleines, innovatives Unternehmen aus dem Raum Leverkusen welches
sich auf die Bereiche Internetservice und Webdesign spezialisiert hat.
Wir bieten alle Dienstleistungen dieser Branche zum Teil in Zusammenarbeit mit
unseren leistungsfähigen Partnern an.
Nun haben wir ein neues Vertriebssystem entwickelt und suchen dafür neue und
interessierte Partner. Speziell sprechen wir Computerinteressierte und
Einzelhändler sowie Netzwerktechniker an. Das Vertriebssystem ist nicht auf
diesen Personenkreis beschränkt sondern prinzipiell jedem zugänglich.
Im folgenden stellen wir dieses System kurz vor:
Im Grunde geht es um die Vermittlung unserer Dienstleistung. Jeder Computer -
Einzelhändler kennt das Problem. Oft wird neben dem Netzwerk oder der Hardware
nach einere Internetpräsenz oder einem anderen Internetservice gefragt. Die
eigenen Mittel und Ressourcen ermöglichen es jedoch nicht, diese Wünsche zur
Zufriedenheit der Kunden zu erfüllen.
Hier greift unser System. Sie vermitteln diese Kunden an uns weiter und erhalten
12% - 16% Provision der Gesamterlöse. Natürlich steigt die prozentuale
Beteiligung bei entsprechendem Auftragsvolumen. Ohne großen Aufwand können Sie
a) Ihren Kunden zufriedenstellen
b) Ihren Umsatz ohne jedes Risiko erhöhen.
Dieses Prinzip übertragen wir auf jeden unserer Partner. D. h., daß nicht nur
Einzelhändler und/oder Netzwerktechniker davon profitieren können, sondern jeder
Interessierte. Wir gehen so weit, daß wir jeden Freiberufler, jeden
Arbeitssuchenden dazu animieren möchten, an diesem Vertriebssystem teilzuhaben.
Wir gehen noch einen Schritt weiter. Durch eine aktive Mitarbeit an der
Gestaltung der Seiten kann der Vermittler sein Einkommen noch erhöhen.
Falls Sie Interesse haben, einer unserer zahlreichen und erfolgreichen Partner
zu werden, setzen Sie sich bitte umgehend mit uns in Verbindung:
