RE: [newbie] modem problem
My USR 5610b installs on ttyS4 every time. Since this is not an option with KPPP, I always point it to /dev/modem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jonathan Dlouhy Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 11:58 PM To: Mandrake Newbie List Subject: [newbie] modem problem I just bought a USR 5610b modem that was recommended by several knowledgeable folks to work fine with Linux. It seems to want to use Com 4, which I assume is /dev/ttys3. When I look in the /dev directory ttys3 is linked to pty/s51. I suppose that's why my comm and fax programs complain that the modem is either busy or locked? Should I remove that link? And if so, how?

It's that old, you have to wait for it to get steam up first! Mine wouldnt print, until I installed package HPOJ. It shouldnt have needed it, but it did! When you run the printer installation wizard, it will throw up a little window, asking if your printer is one of a few types, a couple of them being HP Laserjet and OfficeJet. Click yes, and it will install the HPOJ package. Give it a try, it worked for me!

The mouse is standard 2button/scroll wheel, black with Dell on it that a friend gave me (the scroll works fine under Windows on their machine.) I tried all the PS2 drivers under mousedrake, and none of them seem to work. Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

My advice: Don't buy ANY internal modem and expect it to work with MDK
or probably any linux distro.
It is essential that we, even the complete newbie, be able to solve our
problems with Linux without resorting to ANY other OS.
I hope that wasn't too much of a rant.

I've never had a problem with a Lucent chipped modem--every one has been a
snap to setup (just install the driver via the rpm). Non-Lucent chips ain't
worth the trouble, though. And serial always works (too bad serial is on
the
way out).
