Question Internal modem doesn't dial


Complete Linux Newbie.
Running Mandrake 9.
Using kppp (but same problem in the gnome thingi)
Got a Conexant chipset internal PCI modem.
Installed and configged the HSF drivers.
kppp speaks with the modem and everything seems OK, _but_;

ATDT# doesnt actually send the tones for #. Iv listened on the line and when I commandeer ATDT# it starts some kind of a very rapid flicker....

I thought it might be sending pulse, but I tried this on the connection Im on now (same box, same modem, WinXP) and I couldnt hear anything on the line then. And I/kppp explicitly asks for D_T_, so....

The modem got /dev/ttySHSF0 and /dev/cuaHSF0. In the instructions to the driver it says that the cua is the 'call-out device'. Neither show up in kppp, but ttySHSF0 has the /dev/modem link which does show up. The problem is the same if I change the link (ln -s) to cuaHSF0.

1. Whats happening??
2. How can I fix it?? Obviously I _need_ to get online..
3. How do I get /dev/ttySHSF0 and /dev/cuaHSF0 to show up in kppp

Did you check your modem type with the utility at the hcfpcimodem site ?
Also - setserial or kpp has options to show something akin to a log which is fairly straight-forward. Listening in wont help you too much.
Setserial at the command-line is easier
Hope this helps

I had no problems with Mandrake 9.0 and a Conexant/Rockwell modem. Did you correctly identify your modem and get the correct driver?

Thanx for all those links, hope someone will find them useful.
Yeah, I did correctly identify and the driver was the correct one. Problem is now solved, as I got a prompt answer from the Linuxant Support guys [1].

The problem was APIC and its wrong handeling of PCI. I put the variable 'noapic' in my bootloader (LILO), and everything now workes.

[1]:
I think you might have an IRQ problem or a FLAGS/RELAYS problem. Both
problems require some work to get around.

If it is an IRQ problem, you can try playing with the kernel options
"noapic", "acpi=off" and/or "apm=off".

If that doesn't work, you can try to configure and install a generic kernel
with the ACPI patches found on this web site:
http://sf.net/projects/acpi

You will then need to use the generic HSF driver and compile the modules
with "hsfconfig".

For FLAGS/RELAYS problems, if your modem work correctly under Windows, you
can usually import the settings from the Windows driver. I will give you the
procedure.

Please find a ".cty" or ".inf" file included with your Windows modem driver
(you might have both) and then look for the lines starting with:

"HKR,OEM, FLAGS,"
"HKR,Country\XXXX,RELAYS,"
"HKR,Country\XXXX,FLAGS,"

"XXXX" has to be replaced with your specific country code (the code is shown
when you run "hsfconfig --info").

Once you found the settings, you need to import them in the INF file under
Linux (replace the existing settings). To find out which file to edit, again
run "hsfconfig --info".

After saving the changes to the file, make sure you unload the driver with
"hsfstop" and then run "hsfconfig --nvram" to update the "nvram.bin" file
that is used by the modem.
