the modem uses the standard AT command set, and setserial is now installing.
I'll let you know if it works now

Now, if I remember correctly, you do need to enable the serial port as it's
not enabled by default.

Ah yes, you need to install setserial using the apt tool of your choice as
per here:

I would imagine that the modem will need a driver or at least a bit of port
voodoo which will be hard to work out until you can see it.

[ubuntu-uk] TC65T gsm/gprs modem

2010-10-19 Thread Jacob Mansfield
I have just purchased a TC65T to use with my monitoring server to send out
text alerts. I've tried using the serial port terminal to communicate with
it but there is no response. I think that the PC's serial port is not
working correctly with Ubuntu. can anybody give me a hand to get it working
properly?
