[newbie] Modem help for a M$ refugee
My son-in-law just dumped his Windows2000 after the latest attack from virus, worms and BSODs. I talked him into trying MDK 9.1. Everything seemed to go well until he tried to connect. That's why it is a little difficult for me to help him out, 'cause we are 400 kilometes apart. So - until further progress is made - we must communicate over phone line. His problem is modem related. It is an E-Tech 56K Flex V.90. Extern hardware modem. It seems to come with a Rockwell chipset. When running drakconnect, he can go as far as to query the modem. Then : nothing. No strings, no connection, nada. I've googled around to no avail. Doesn't show up on the compatibility lists, be it Mandrake, RedHat or S.u.S.E.. Some posts on mailing lists claims it incompatible, some not. Questions : 1. Does anyone here know if it is compatible ? 2. If it isn't : what modems are ?

Re: [newbie] Modem help
Hi there, some Lucent modems are supported under Linux. My friend has one, (I'm not sure what chipset) and it has worked well for him w/Mdk Linux 8.2. You can check out this site for drivers for Lucent modems, but you will have to know what chipset you have: http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/ Hope this helps.

Is it plugged into your serial port? 2. Is it plugged into the same serial port it was plugged into when you first used it? (if you're not sure, unplug it and stick it in the other port to check, this has happened to me before) 3. Is it plugged in to its AC adapter, and is the adapter plugged into the wall? 4. Is it turned on? 5. Is it connected to a working, unoccupied phone line? If so, take the cord that is plugged into your modem right now and plug it into a telephone to make sure it gets a dial tone. I'm sure none of that helps, but every once in a while it's something very simple like this. If this doesn't solve it you're going to actually have to find someone who knows what they're talking about to help you. Good luck. Isaac Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Modem help
Been there tried to do that, it's not worth the bother. You can find a good US Robotics hardware modem on ebay for under $30, then just plug it in and your troubles will be over. I have gotten a couple old US Robotics 28kbs on ebay for under $15 each and even at just 28K they seem much faster than my phone line and my ISP. However it would be nice to be able to use some of my pci modems with Linux it just does not seem worth the bother for me. Maybe that is just because I have been so darn busy the last few months that I dont have time enough to make the pci modems work. maybe for someone with more spare time it may be worth it.

Try to find out whichport and irq it uses. I had to use windoze to set up my modem. You can find the properties in windoze either by right clicking on the mycomputer icon then selecting properties or by using the start/programs/accessories/ menu - I can't remember which one offhand so try both. In kppp you can set it by entering setup-modem. Set the modem for /dev/ttyS1 if your windows wascom 2, /dev/ttyS2 for windows port com 3, etc. Use setserial to set the irq: setserial /dev/ttyS(number) irq (number). For example on mine it's:setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5. You can append this at the end of a startup file: /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will be executed at system start-up.
Re: [newbie] Modem help needed
Verify your BIOS is set for Non PnP OS In Linux PCI modems are ttySs. The setserial commands must be issued as root. For a PCI modem use the followin directions. . Log in as root and from terminal enter the following command # cat /proc/pci This will list all your PCI devices. On this list you should see either Communication controller or Communication device, That listing is your modem. If it shows as Comm. device you have a winmodem and it won't work in Linux. If it shows as Comm. controller proceed as follows: Write down the first I/O range. In the example I am using 0xd800 replace that with yours. Enter the following # setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xd800 spd_vhi skip_test auto_irq autoconfig If there are no errors, then enter # setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A Select /dev/ttyS3 as the device in kppp and your modem should now initalize and operate. To make this perm. you will need to edit your rc.local file which is located in the /etc/rc.d directory. Add the 2 setserial lines to the end of this file Save the changes and reboot your system. - Original Message - From: "Kandace Little" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 1:24 PM Subject: [newbie] Modem help needed Setserial would not work for me, I take it that I type the commands in from the console.

I'm running MDK 7.1, and I configured my OPTi sound last night. I have an older machine (i586/120MHz), and may have an older chipset than you but I used sndconfig and selected the MAD16 WSS driver since the chips were the same number. I had to configure two DMA Channels, the IRQs, and I/O, but since I have Win98 on the same machine, I took those settings from the win98 device map. You can also set up your MPU-401 in sndconfig. After configuring, I went back to KDE (sndconfig should be run from the command line, not in X) and played a CD. Sound was great! Michael #183194
[newbie] Modem help... PLEASE!!!
Hello all, I have an interesting problem... Yesterday I finally got my home network finished and working. At the time I had finished it, I was able to log onto the Internet fine with my modem. However, today when I turned on my computer, I was not able to get online. I receive an error saying that my modem is not correct or something to that effect (I don't recall the exact message) After seeing this, I looked at my LinuxConf and found that I didn't have a device for pp0 anymore, but I did have an entry under my ppp/slip/... tab, just no pp0 adapter... When I went to put an adapter in and try my modem, I got an error saying that my modem was locked?! I'm quite confused and not sure why my modem would be locked if the computer couldn't turn it on in the first place...? :) Anyone know a solution to this?

Re: [newbie] Modem Help

ttyS3 is the right setting but the modem is on Conn 5 not Conn 4.
Did you run # cat /proc/pci ? It will give you a listing of all the PCI
cards on your computer and you will need the the IRQ and I/O listed under
Communication Controler to enter 2 more commands and to edit your rc.serial
file.
If you have not done this respond back and I will give you detailed info.

Patrick Read 'man setserial'. tom -- "No fun, no gain" Thomas 'tom' Berger, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) http://www.mandrakeuser.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] On my 7.02 box I use a diamond supra ISA V90 modem. It is set up for PNP and it configures itself for IRQ 05 and I/O 0x03e8. At boot up I noticed that when com 1,2,and 3 are configured, com 3 is set up for I/O 0x03e8 but with IRQ 04 I placed 'setserial /dev/modem port 0x03e8 irq 05 uart 16550a' in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. Works just fine. I was thinking about sending out an e-mail about this subject and if one could change the way linux configures the com ports at boot up, but after reading 'man setserial' all my questions were answered.

Re: [newbie] modem Help!
My advice is to return it and purchase a 3COM/USR modem that comes with Jumpers on it. (Or purchase an external modem. Supposedly 99.9% of all external modems work with Linux.) With the jumpers you can set the COM port. Then just boot up linux and setup KPPP with the COM port number and your ISP information. It should work.

Re: [newbie] modem Help!
Wouldn't it have come with a drivers disk that maybe has the Linux drivers on it? (Don't listen to me, though, I still haven't gotten Linux loaded on a system yet).
