Hello
I am using YDL 3.0.1 on a Lombard PB G3 and have not been able to set up the internal serial modem. I can connect to the internet via KPPP so the modem is ok. When I try to set up the modem using System Settings, Network, no modem is found when YDL polls the system. I tried "setserial" and it says all devices and locations are occupied and busy. This can't be right as I am no external devices of any kind.
I got MOL to work and with exception of not being able to connect to the internet from MOL it works very well. By the way, when I check modem status while running MOL it says "no serial port available"
Can someone please give me some pointers?
Hi Mike To use the internet from within MOL, 1 - start and connect with kppp 2 - change your Network Location in OSX to Automatic
OSX under MOL can't talk to the modem - YDL owns it. OSX will use a 'tunnel' that it thinks is just an ethernet connection to talk to YDL and YDL passes the request on to the modem as required. Think of OSX as just being a program running on top of Linux with no access to the hardware underneath any more. Sounds confusing I guess, but once you start using it you get used to it.
