modem

1 confused guy · 07-18-2002, 08:20 PM

Hello,

I have a conexant hsf modem, and I cant get it to work with Slackware. I have downloaded and tried all of the drivers for linux and they work perfectly fine under Redhat, but not in Slackware. The driver installs ok and i can condigure it just fine, but when i go to dial with kppp it always says "Sorry, can't open modem".

If anyone has had the same problem or knows how to solve this please help!

Thank you all in advance,

what is "hsf" ? Is it an high speed (DSL) modem? In that case, I don't think kppp can handle it

Did you make sure you have the correct port for you modem ? Like is it trying to use something like /dev/ttyS0, that maybe linked to /dev/modem ??

hello,

the hsf is not a dsl modem, its the type of conexant modem. They make HSF and HCF.

and when i install my modem, it automatically creates /dev/HSF0 and makes /dev/modem link to that.

Thanks for your help,

Type 'dmesg' and look for anything regarding your modem. I'd be interested in seeing if the module choked on it or something...

your modem is a conexant? Is it a sound card combined modem?
I had a conexant modem that came with my hp computer and I'll tell ya no matter what It would not work with redhat7.1 or mandrake8.2 so what I did was went out and bought a new modem and sound card :-(...

Ah well Linux YOUR WORTH IT!!! :-)..

sorry I know that did not help you, just thought I'd share with you a similier problem that I had..
