HELP, Help and more help


Well I finally go 9.3 load and I love it, but I can't get Kinternet to operate at all. MY com port is #3 so I made sure I was looking at TTY/s2 and it still does not work. Any help would be appreciated, and Thanks, Clois

Serial modem = use wvdial, coz it works well with mostly serial modems.

Better to know ur modem type , and speed. You can download wvdial's install file, because Iam not aware of Suse 9.3. I dont know whether its rpm/deb/tz :P

So , do inform me abt that and SuSe's origin too.

I will help u surely

Regards

YAST says I have Wvdial Loaded, but when I run Command Line Wvdial, nothing happens. What else can I do to get Wvdial loaded and running properly.

Most 56k modems are serial modems , so , I assume urs as the same.
Editing wvdial.conf will help

To edit wvdial.conf
Code:
[root@localhost root] # vi /etc/wvdial.conf
Just copy and paste the below lines in ur wvdial.conf present in /etc directory.

==========================
[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyS0
Baud=57600
SetVolume=0
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer Connection_Name]
Username= fill_in_the_blank_space_with_ur_username
Password= fill_in_the_blank_space_with_ur_password
Phone= fill_in_the_blank_space_with_number_to_be_dialed
Stupid Mode= 1
Inherits = Modem0
==========================

Now try adjusting the variable parameters.

Save wvdial.conf and try using the command,
"wvdial Connection_name"

I found out I cannot edit the wvdial.conf even as Root. What do I do, it disturbs me that even as root that I should be able to write and edit a file under linux. Thanks for any help.

Now I need to know

I was finally able to save my wvdial.conf. file, now I need to know what to set the modem to, do I use /dev/modem or do I use devttys2, since my modem is sitting on Com 3 on Windows?
