If it is installed, you should have /usr/bin/minicom and /usr/bin/xminicom There was a mini_commander_applet there, no minicom or xminicom. If they are not there, try (as root, from an xterm) rpm -e minicom urpmi minicom Yes! That did it! Installed the very same one I was trying to

[newbie] Broken rpm?

2002-12-11 Thread Ray Henry
OK, since updating my libraries, my modem has stopped functioning. I can use minicom to send commant to the modem, and everything responds well until I go to dial out. Then I get a no dilatone error. This is incorrect. The modem is a conextant winmodem, and I got it going using the rpm mbsi.ca.

OK, modem is now working again. Thanks for everyone that made suggestions. What finally worked was forcing the rpm, removing it, and installing it again. Then, only root had access. Went into the fax.conf file, altered the device=modem to dev=ttySHCF0, and altered the line for the lock file to a

[newbie] Write command directly to modem?

OK, how does one go about writing commands to the modem to see what it's doing? I've recently lost the use of my WinModem fax modem, and can't for the life of me figure out how to see what's happening. With Windows, you can use Hyperterminal to write requests directly to the modem and see what

OK, this is EXTREMELY frustrating, an annoying time-consuming process the RedHat has been kind enough to deal with through their auto-updating. Regardless, Mandrake 8.2 comes with support for a number of devices that RedHat doesn't. Here's my problem: All I want to do is install an HTML

I have a Kouwell SCSI card using the Initio 9100AU chipset. When attempting to install Mandrake 9.0, it locked up solid loading the Initio driver. I tried Mandrake 8.2, the same. I was able to install Mandrake 8.2 using the linux noprobe option. However, this does not work with 9.0, it still
