So I've been trying to get my modem to function so at least I can have dial-up (I'm not sure if that will be any less painful, *gulp*), but it's a conexant modem.
So I downloaded the Linux demo driver at Conexant, and it detects the modem fine and installs the drivers peachily, but when I try to use wvdial or ppp-watch, you can hear the modem physically dialing from the modem speaker, but if you pick up a phone extension, you can't hear the modem dialing on the line. It's as if the modem isn't plugged into the phone line, but I know it is because I have another phone going through that modem (plugged into the "Line Out" jack), which works.
If I do: echo ATDT5555555 > /dev/modem
I get the same thing--I can hear it dialing from the modem's speaker, but when I pick up the phone, the modem isn't actually picking up the phone line when it dials.
If I do:
echo AT&F > /dev/modem
or anything of the like, it just sits there and doesn't respond (same if I open minicom or the like ... ATZ or AT&F don't get any response from the modem).
Any suggestions?
Or, alternatively, does anyone have a known linux-friendly modem they can let me borrow for two weeks? (Or sell for a small amount ... I'm getting desperate here!)
Thanks in advance, Ross "I Check My Mail At School/Work" Werner
