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.
Thanks,
Aaron

Subject: Re: [newbie] USRobotics modem problems
Hi,
I had the same type of problems with my modem, with the
volume and other things
that I'm not even sure what it was. 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.

Hi, i've got a U.S. Robotics aswell, my speaker don't
work either, i'm new
to this, when i was setting up my connection, the only
