[speedtouch] Re: problems with alcatel modem and suse 8
I am running alcatel modem with SuSe8 using Benoit's drivers with no problems. My ISP is Wanadoo. If you have a standard SuSE PRO installation then you ***must first*** install the following packages: auto config, build and make from Develop\Tools\Building as well as gcc from Develop\Languages\C and C++ so that you can compile Benoit's drivers. The process is fairly straight forward after that unless you make a typo!

[speedtouch] Re: /usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi 0 -vci 38 multipleversions running at the same time
Hi Jonathan, Firstly, I had the wrong path to pppoa3 in the script and had symptoms like yours. Secondly, if you two ppp processes run at the same time, they seem to both become very noisy. The only solution I found was to kill them from a shell. Lastly, I was getting the drivers 'sticking' untill I switched to the windows .dll for the modem application. No idea why one works and the other doesn't. With the linux .o, the process could stick for 15min or more before getting the ADSL synchronization message. Sory, no silver bullet here.

[speedtouch] Which number the modem has dialled?
How can one verify which phone number the usb modem has dialled for any given ppp session. My pppd session works fine under linux. However I am puzzled because I did not give it any phone number to dial. I would like to check which dial number usb alcaltel modem has actually dialled, I tried to give it ATV command in the script but he does not like it and for that matter none of the AT commands work. I need to know this as I would like the modem to dial a specific phone number which I have already paid my ISP to use. ATDnumber does not work as alcatel modem does not seem to like interaction, so what is the way? How can one verify which phone number the modem has actually dialled in any given pppd session?

[speedtouch] Re: problems with alcatel modem and suse 8
No I used this http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3 As I already said, you can't do the : make And as root: make install without adding the packages I listed below. The only other problem that I know of would be your motherboard and/or bios settings (for example if the bios are set at safe your PPP support is non existant).

Michel Lambert ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: How can one verify which phone number the usb modem has dialled for any given ppp session. You can't. Your adsl connection is a direct connection between your modem and the ISP's atm switch. So you do not need dialing to a phone number as in V90/V92 technologies where your modem is using the analogic phone line to communicate with the ISP's server. Hope this help you a bit understanding how xDSL works. -- Edouard Gomez Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
