Help configure a winmodem
Well, I don't like to open new threads when there are lots of "similar" threads around, but ...
I have an internal Conexant modem [winmodem]. I installed a driver for it in both my FC3 and my LFS. I am able to dial-up from my FC3 [no questions - it's just perfect], which means the modem is ok and its driver is ok. Now step by step: I know I have a module device in /dev - it's ttyHSFS0. I know kernel modules for my modem get loaded. I know I have all necessary software compiled and installed - since I could install "wvdial", it has all dependencies. I can make wvdial dial my ISP, but after username and password check it says "authentification failed". Wvdial info/man files say after it dials the ISP, it hands it to "pppd". "pppstats" returns "no ppp devices found". I think I could solve this by "imitating" my FC3, but I don't know how FC3 dials up. I'd be very greatful if there is someone to tell me what to do [or even better - where/what to search]. Vitalie CIUBOTARU |
well since you don't say what model modem try
http://www.conexant.com/support/md_driverdownload.jsp or http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ |
I do know what modem I am using:

Since you said you got the "authentification failed" message, that makes me wonder ¿which protocol are you using to connect? and ¿is that protocol (chap / pap / plain text password) you have selected, _supported_ by your ISP? If you show your config and connection logs you can get a better answer. Anyway, sometimes you have to comment out some line in /etc/ppp/options, to look like "#lock", or change "auth" by "noauth" in some other cases.

I have a Conexant, but I don't use it. I'm currently using my 536ep. I never could get wvdial to do its thing either. Maybe it was just me. Try pppd/chat combo. It's not hard, and there's even a setup script for the whole thing:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/sys...rk/serial/ppp/ and download pppsetup. If nothing else that will give you handy ppp-on, ppp-off script to link up the interface with. I like it because it only uses pppd and chat. You might want to symlink your modem device to /dev/modem if you didn't do that already, most things look there. The setup scripts just fill out your /etc/ppp/options file for pppd, and make a chat script in /etc/ppp/. Looks like this running: /usr/sbin/pppd -detach connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/pppscript When you want the link, you just do "ppp-on". "ppp-off" downs it again. Code:
