RE: [newbie] USRobotics modem problems
Carolina, Do you think that this will help with my problem. Whenever I try to start kppp I get an error telling me that the modem is busy. The modem is a non win modem USR ISA PNP modem.

The volume problem was solved setting it to low volume. I also had a hard time trying to set it on ttyS1 (COM2 in Windows); I arranged that through the BIOS settings. I posted a message a few days ago explaining how I solved it, in case you didn't read it, here it goes again: "Hi everybody, Last week I said I would explain how I solved my modem and conection problems in case it could help someone, as I've seen there's so many people with this tipe of problems. Well, I don't know "exactly" what my problems where, but I guess something to do with IRQ, ports, modem, etc. settings. First I didn't have Kppp in my Linux, I didn't even know it existed and I was trying to connect using ppp0 or something like that. Now I have Kppp and it works fine. PC: -My modem is: Zoom VoiceVideoFax Modem 56K - Internal ISA/PnP (NOT a winmodem) on ttyS1 (COM2 in W98) -Pentium 133 Mhz -2 Hard drives of 1,2 Gig. each (one with Linux Mandrake 7.0 and the other W98) -RAM 24 Mb. -Mouse: 3 button serial Genius on ttyS0 (COM1 in W98) -Printer: Epson Stylus Colour 440 First of all, BIOS settings: Go into BIOS with Del at boot. Go to Power Management Setup: - Set MODEM use IRQ: 3 Go to PNP/PCI Configuration: - IRQ 3 assigned to: PCI/ISA PnP Go to Integrated Peripherals: - Onboard Serial Port 1: Auto - Onboard Serial Port 2: Auto ESC F10 and Exit Reboots automatically. Now Kppp Configuration: Go to Conections: - Add - Give a name to your conection - Select the conection you've just created and click Edit The following is all inside the Edit of the conection you've just created: Go to mark, ( the first tab on the left, I'm not sure of the english name of this) - Enter conection Name - Phone Number of your ISP - Authentication: PAP (unless you have to use something else like CHAP, etc.) Go to IP Address: - Check IP set by server (unless you have a static IP) Go to Name Servers: - Enter the Domain Name of your ISP - DNS, click on Add and enter the primary DNS of your ISP and then do the same with the secondary DNS Go to Gateway: - Select Default gateway - check default path to gateway OK and back to the Kppp main configuration. Go to Serial Device: - Modem Device: /dev/ttyS1 (or whatever serial port you have it set to) - Flow Control: CRTSCTS - End of Line: CR/LF - Conection Speed: 115200 - leave the "use file block" selected (I don't know what this is, I just left it how it was by default ) - Modem timeout: 120 secs. Go to Modem: - Wait for busy line: 0 (default) - Modem Volume: Low (I guess you can set it how you like, but when I had it on High, when starting the conection it hanged while "setting modem volume", so I set it on Low and now it's OK) Go to ppp: - pppd timeout: 120 (I don't know what this means, but I set it the same as the modem timeout) - check the following options: Show clock in title-bar, Disconect when closing X Server and Minimize window when conection. And that's about it, at least for me now it works OK. If someone has any questions you're welcome to ask, I don't promise I can help because I'm very, very newbie in this, but with all these problems I've had I've learnt quite a lot, so there's always a good side on everything, even if it looks like a terrible problem. If everything had worked OK right from the begining I wouldn't have learnt anything new. I hope these settings can help someone. Cheers, Carol^" El lun, 18 sep 2000, escribiste: I've go a USR Courier V-everything internal modem. I had some problems with setting it up, but finally got them resolved. In KPPP, the highest volume setting doesn't work because the modem doesn't recognize the command for setting that volume. However, the lower volume level works fine.

Anyway and help would be great. Thanks! Stephen Stephen, did you see my message about your modem setup?? To recap. you could be getting conflicts between your mouse and your modem - regardless of mouse type (USB or serial), it seems the mouse may also be assigned to Com1/ttyS0 - you would be better off to connect the modem to your second serial connector if you have one or to change the address and irq for the serial port on your bios. Take another look at my original response to your plea for help. Once we get the modem side sorted we can move toward sorting out the lack of noises problem...

Isn't the mouse assigned Com 1 regardless of being serial or USB. Would Kandace not be better off to configure the modem to Com 2 ?? I had the same problem with an external til I swapped the cables around. Cheers
Re: [[newbie] USRobotics modem problems]
John, You're correct. The correct place to have this modem is /dev/ttyS1, set the control to none, and the speed to 115000. that should get this Sportster working just fine.

If this is the problem you should be able to get the addresses from your ISP or go into MS-DOS Type WINIPCFG You should then get a pop up telling you your DNS address along with alot of other stuff.
