Hi

I need access to internet through modem connection.
I have 2 questions :

1.Can I do it by using normal telephone line ?
What are the credentials to authenticate (mean : user nad passwd) ?

2. How to configure modem connection in my ubuntu linux ?

thx for help.

You access the internet through a service provider. You have to apply first in your nearest Internet Service Provider (ISP) to become as subscriber (and have an access privilege.)

Modems as made for that type of connection. Yes through landline.

Usually the ISP will give you a user name and a password in order to establish a dial-up connection into the internet.

It depends. What is your modem? Make & Model? Be sure to check in this site first and ascertain if your modem is Linux supported. Be cautioned of the fact that there are many issues of modems (winmodems) under gnu/linux.

Ok.

I have SUbscriber line and know user and passwd to establish modem connection.

WHat I dont know is, how to config this connection in my ubuntu laptop ?
I use IBM R61E machine and it has built in modem on the motherboard.

If you have a subsciber line, you need a adsl modem or router.


Kind regards

I you have adsl line you indeed need a modem or modem router
This modem router do have his own IP address .
If you enter this IP address in a web browser , you can configure you,re modem as ADMIN or User
But you also may need a ethernet card in you're computer to connect to you're modem router.
Or do you have a dial up line
Than you need a dial up modem.

If you boot Ubuntu with DSL line On the system should synse and automagically configure the router. Or, if you know the username and password from the ISP then use the network manager to configure it accordingly.

If modem is required here: the only problem is if your modem is not linux supported.

Again the question: What is your modem. (we cannot help you unless you help us understand the problem).

There is no ADLS line. There is ISDN line and I want to establish 56K connection via modem in my laptop.

So I need for dial up connection and I have those info below :
- phone number of ISP : 0202122
- username : ppp
- password : ppp

I still don't know how to configure this type of connection under my ubuntu distrib.

PLease help.

First see if the modem is supported by linux.

Then try to make a connection

You can use wvdial

Kind regards

ISDN is not compatible with a 56K dial up MODEM. Do you have an ISDN MODEM?
