Hi,
You need to provide a little more detail. Distribution? Modem manufacture? Errors you get when you attempt to connect? You should look at the next links that are in my sig; |
Howto: Verizon UM175 USB EVDO under Hardy
Before starting, have your updates done. At the time I'm writing this, 2.6.24-19-generic is the current stable -generic kernel. Everything here also works fine on the 2.6.24-21-eeepc kernel on my eeePC 1000, running Hardy. Also install gnome-ppp before you get started. You'll need to know your UM175's phone number as well. For this guide, I'll assume it's 212-555-1212. Step 1. Plug the device in. Ok, you’re done Step 1. Step 2. Launch gnome-ppp, configure settings, other than the defaults: * Modem Tab o Device: /dev/ttyACM0 o Type: USB Modem o Speed: 460800 o Phone Line: Tone o Volume: Off * Options Tab o Minimize: checked o Dock in Notification Area: checked Click Close. Fill in the fields in the main Gnome PPP window: * Username: 2125551212@vzw3g.com * Password: vzw * Phone Number: #777 Step 3. Click Connect Step 4. There is no step 4. You’re connected. Congratulations, you’re online, EVDO style. Regards, JKZfixme |
Modem
The Modem I have is a Verizon 175 dsl modem and I was told by Verizon that this one will not work whit Linux os. What can I say. I went back to Windows,nd it works fine on my 4 computers. |
I have no experience with this modem and I could only google for solutions, anyone can do that. No guarantee that you will find them though.
However I can give you two advices so my post is not completely useless: if you really have to change the modem, buy a modem that can be connected via an rj45 cable to a regular ethernet cad. That way you guarantee that the modem will work under any OS, as long as the network card works as well. You don't need any specific 100U$D modem, you can use any DSL modem that can be connected to your network plug. Second: if you really plan to run linux, buy hardware that can be used with Linux. Note that if you buy a mac and want a printer, you probably buy a printer that can work with MacOS. It's the same. |
