Thumbs down D-Link dial up modem note detected.


I recently installed Novel OpenSUSE 10.2. The installation was fine and everything is working fine now except for my D-Link Fax Modem. The Modem is not detected By OpenSUSE.
Please tell me what to do.

Before OpenSUSE i had installed REDHAT 9.1, it detected my modem and i even browsed the net. Please Help Me.

You will have to find the device file of your modem : /dev/ttyS01,02,03 etc. See if there is a link from it to /dev/modem. (ls /dev/modem). Otherwise make a link to /dev/modem after you know the device file of your modem:

ln -s /dev/ttyS02 /dev/modem (change the '02' part suitably)

Then you will have to insert the driver module for your modem with modprobe or insmod (read the man pages)

You can also read a little of the Modem-Howto and also Linmodem-Howto for more details.

It's best to avoid all this and get a broadband connection if one is available where you live.
