Please help with using a WinModem in RHEL Linux. I am going to use Fedora Core release 6 next soon. Thanks for reading. Here is the file created by running scanModem.
Code:
-------------------------- System information ----------------------------
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant)
Kernel
Linux version 2.6.9-5.EL (bhcompile@decompose.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) #1 Wed Jan 5 19:22:18 EST 2005
scanModem update of: 2006_September_19
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:
PCI ID Subsystem Name
---------- --------- -----------------
11c1:0442 144d:2104 Communication controller: Agere Systems
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev.tdb
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.4.3 and a compiler is not installed
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.4 kernel-source-2.6.9-5.EL
Checking pppd properties:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 251008 Nov 2 2004 /usr/sbin/pppd
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.

Checking for modem support lines:
--------------------------------------
/device/modem symbolic link:
slmodemd created symbolic link /dev/ttySL0:
Within /etc/udev/ files:
Within /etc/modprobe.conf files:
Within any ancient /etc/devfs files:
Within ancient kernel 2.4.n /etc/module.conf files:
--------- end modem support lines --------
