help is underway
before you begin, you need to go to your internet configuration to set your modem on /dev/ttyS2, which is com3 under windows; if you do it, just go to the modem configuration at the end of this message.
you will not need to change anything at all. if your modem is supported by your operating system then you need to enter this command to set it up. first you need to see on which port your modem is connected by enter cat /proc/pci on the xterminal, and look for the name of your modem. for example, if your modem is on com3 on windows, it will be on /dev/ttyS2 under linux look for IRQ 5 if your modem is on /dev/ttyS2 to setup your modem, please enter the following in the xterminal exec setserial /dev/ttyS2 (replace the S2 by your port) irq 5 (replace the irq 5 by the irq number of your modem) port 0xc000 (replace the 0xc000 by the I/O of your modem) ^fourport ^auto_irq skip_test autoconfig spd_vhi reopen the xterminal again and enter setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc000 autoconfig (replace the S2, irq 5, and the 0xc000 by the one of your modem; notice the 0xc000 are zeros not oh) enter ln /dev/ttyS2 (replace S2 again) /dev/modem please read the message first; now this is the modem command all together. exec setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc000 ^fourport ^auto_irq skip_test autoconfig spd_vhi open the xterminal again and enter setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc000 autoconfig ln /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem have fun sincerely, clinton |
oh man ..still cant get the darn thing working
actually ..i entered all the commands as you told me 2 ...still nothing.. i had enterd some thing earlier...which i think didnt make this work Modem is on com3 and irq 4 [0*03e8]... please correct me if i am wrong when i use lspci -vv ...it shows modem is on irq 12.....i cant get this. when i used wvdial..i gave an errror message cannot open /dev/ttyS2 i checked out with aztech ..they say that modem is compatible with linux modem does not get detected in dial up config package in gnome i think this may be due to wri=ong port address i enter port as 0*03e8 now setserial is not working at all.. i punch in the setserial command with some arguments and it just does not gie any output..i have to use ctrl+z to get out...HELP :newbie: |
hello again
instead of using wvdial, you should use ppp because it is much more easier to setup. you need to go to program -> internet -> ppp utility and then setup and so on.
