I too have successfully used a Roadster II under Linux, just needed a
different init string to my courier and I was away. But my main reason
for responding to this is to do with the drivers. I think what Netcomm
mean is that they don't have any 'drivers' as in the Win9x drivers which
are naught but a text file which contains a few init strings for different
modems and occasions. The 'drivers' as they are called are not really
drivers in the linux (or dos) sense of the word, atleast not for modems.
And to the person who was asking, this is the chat script I use in
conjunction with pppd to use my Roadster II (hasn't been tested in a while
though)
# $TELEPHONE is exported in my ppp script
exec /usr/sbin/chat -v \
TIMEOUT 13 \
ABORT 'BUSY' \
ABORT 'NO ANSWER' \
ABORT 'RINGING' \
'' 'AT' \
'OK' 'AT&F' \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK ATDT$TELEPHONE \
CONNECT ''
Hope this sheds a little bit more light on this.
Cheers,
Kieran
