For some reason though it will not accept my license key ... when I do the usr/sbin/hsfconfig --license command it tells me file not found (or words to that affect) Are you in 'root' mode or 'SuperUser' mode when you do the /usr/sbin/hsfconfig command? You must be for it to work. In your normal User account, you don't have permission to run the file, so the file is reported as not found. In a terminal window at the command prompt, type su and then enter the password for the SuperUser or Root account. Then run hsfconfig. At this point I also run WvDial and let it run in the foreground. I then switch to another desktop workspace to use the web browser and the email client. I do it this way because I have a lot of telephone line noise in my area and the web browser and email client will sometimes get out of sync with my ISP. So I go back to the WvDial terminal session, issue CTRL-C to stop WvDial, and then restart WvDial. Then I can return to the desktop with the web browser and email client and continue from where they stopped. (This is why I stopped using kppp as the modem dialer program. There wasn't as clean a way to get kppp to exit when the web browser and email client got out of sync with the ISP. I say out of sync, because the modem was still connected to the ISP the entire time the problem occured.) I don't suppose you can help me with my sound problem? So far I've had one reply to that post which hasn't helped unfortunately ;-) I missed the question. I use a SBLive! Value card with the ALSA drivers. Make sure you have opened all of your mixers and volume controls available under your desktop environment and increase the volume levels. Most of the mixers and volume controls have turned down the playback sound to 0 volume. Many times, just raising those volume controls will give you sound. Best, The Other.

Re: [newbie] Modem troubles
for an easy wine configuration, you can use the winesetuptk programm. It have a graphical enviroment to configure wine. then you just have to launch the programm you wath to test from the shell like this [EMAIL PROTECTED] wine ./MiProg.exe and if works then you are done if not maybe with the next release of wine...

RE: [newbie] Modem troubles..
I had the same trouble, but with a Win(ugh!)modem that someone had written drivers for. I first ran the init strings from the terminal, but when it connected, I got a lot of useless characters that kept me from inputting username/password. I found that it was hanging up trying to set non-standard speaker volume commands. I deleted these from the modem commands page in the KPPP setup, and it connected rather quickly. hope this helps
Re: [newbie] Modem Troubles!
Sounds like the IRQ is set incorrectly. I have no experience with ISAPNP but i know ifI don't use setserial to change it to look for my modem on IRQ 5 instead of 4 where it thinks the modem is,I get the same problems you said. Check where setserial is looking and compare it to whatever the modem is set for. Hope this helps, let me know if you need any more info, Mark - Original Message - From: Donny To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 1999 9:38 PM Subject: [newbie] Modem Troubles! Hey everyone! Im having some terrible modem problems! My modem recently got fried by lightning... and the new one i got to replace it, turned out to be a plug-n-play modem. Well, i got the latest version (1.8) of ISAPNP. Linux sees my modem (i think). IM using KPPP to dial up my ISP, but when it initializes the modem withthe string ATZ, it waits for the response OK... it never gets it. I can go edit the modem commands, and take out the "OK" response. Now it passes the initialization, and starts to dial out. After it finishes dialing and connection, it stops at "waiting for response: CONNECT" PLEASE HELP! Whats the problem? Are the responses set wrong? Or is it something else? Thanks for your time!

There is a great chace your modem is incompatible with Linux. 100% chance, actually. Sorry. No win modems will work with LInux because the actual processing work of a modem is done in software for these pain-in-the-butts. And since it's all closed stuff, no one can get the specs or source to write the software for Linux. Ergo, no win modems can even begin to be supported in Linux. Until the manufacturers change their goddamned attitude, this is unlikely to change. For best results, I would recommend an external modem. It'll give you the least heartache IMO...failing that, an internal modem that is not PCI (since all PCI modems to my limited knowledge are win modems) and if it has jumper settings, you're in business. -- -- Kuraiken - Apprentice Codecaster -- Discussions heartily welcomed; Flames generally ignored. --

Re: [[newbie] modem troubles]
Absolutely - unless the situations changed and someone has written some Linux drivers, the modem relies on Windows to take on some of the functionality of the modem. The answer to the question has therefore always been - no, it won't work - sorry it's so negative !!.
